expression
Air is that combination of qualities which makes the entire impression we receive in a person’s presence; as, we say he has the air of a scholar, or the air of a villain. Appearance refers more to the dress and other externals. We might say of a travel-soiled pedestrian, he has the appearance of a tramp, but the air of a gentleman. Expression and look especially refer to the face. Expression is oftenest applied to that which is habitual; as, he has a pleasant expression of countenance; look may be momentary; as, a look of dismay passed over his face. We may, however, speak of the look or looks as indicating all that we look at; as, he had the look of an adventurer; I did not like his looks. Bearing is rather a lofty word; as, he has a noble bearing; port is practically identical in meaning with bearing, but is more exclusively a literary word. Carriage, too, is generally used in a good sense; as, that lady has a good carriage. Mien is closely synonymous with air, but less often used in a bad sense. We say a rakish air rather than a rakish mien. Mien may be used to express some prevailing feeling; as, «an indignant mien.» Demeanor goes beyond appearance, including conduct, behavior; as, a modest demeanor. Manner and style are, in large part at least, acquired. Compare BEHAVIOR.

Alphonse Desjardins, The Canadian credit union pioneer made the remarks in a speech in the early 1900s.:
A credit union is not an ordinary financial concern, seeking to enrich its members at the expense of the general public. Neither is it a loan company, seeking to make a profit at the expense of the unfortunates… The credit union is nothing of the kind; it is the expression in the field of economics of a high social ideal.

Below is a massive list of expression words — that is, words related to expression. The top 4 are: speech, phrase, aspect and reflection. You can get the definition(s) of a word in the list below by tapping the question-mark icon next to it. The words at the top of the list are the ones most associated with expression, and as you go down the relatedness becomes more slight. By default, the words are sorted by relevance/relatedness, but you can also get the most common expression terms by using the menu below, and there’s also the option to sort the words alphabetically so you can get expression words starting with a particular letter. You can also filter the word list so it only shows words that are also related to another word of your choosing. So for example, you could enter «speech» and click «filter», and it’d give you words that are related to expression and speech.
You can highlight the terms by the frequency with which they occur in the written English language using the menu below. The frequency data is extracted from the English Wikipedia corpus, and updated regularly. If you just care about the words’ direct semantic similarity to expression, then there’s probably no need for this.
There are already a bunch of websites on the net that help you find synonyms for various words, but only a handful that help you find related, or even loosely associated words. So although you might see some synonyms of expression in the list below, many of the words below will have other relationships with expression — you could see a word with the exact opposite meaning in the word list, for example. So it’s the sort of list that would be useful for helping you build a expression vocabulary list, or just a general expression word list for whatever purpose, but it’s not necessarily going to be useful if you’re looking for words that mean the same thing as expression (though it still might be handy for that).
If you’re looking for names related to expression (e.g. business names, or pet names), this page might help you come up with ideas. The results below obviously aren’t all going to be applicable for the actual name of your pet/blog/startup/etc., but hopefully they get your mind working and help you see the links between various concepts. If your pet/blog/etc. has something to do with expression, then it’s obviously a good idea to use concepts or words to do with expression.
If you don’t find what you’re looking for in the list below, or if there’s some sort of bug and it’s not displaying expression related words, please send me feedback using this page. Thanks for using the site — I hope it is useful to you! 🐖
That’s about all the expression related words we’ve got! I hope this list of expression terms was useful to you in some way or another. The words down here at the bottom of the list will be in some way associated with expression, but perhaps tenuously (if you’ve currenly got it sorted by relevance, that is). If you have any feedback for the site, please share it here, but please note this is only a hobby project, so I may not be able to make regular updates to the site. Have a nice day! 🐇
