Root Explanation
Expose → It is formed from "ex-" (meaning out) and "ponere" (meaning to place). The word means to place something out in the open or reveal it.
Memory Tip
Think of 'placing something out' ('ex-' means out and 'ponere' means to place') — that's why expose means to reveal or make something visible.
