Etymology
'atypically-expressed' originates from the prefix 'a-' meaning 'not' and 'typical' from Greek 'typikos', meaning 'conforming to a type', combined with 'expressed' from Latin 'expressus', meaning 'to press out'.
'atypically-expressed' evolved from the combination of 'atypical' and 'expressed', reflecting a modern usage to describe something not typically shown.
Initially, it meant 'not typically shown', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
