/trəˈdɪʃənəli ɪkˈsprɛst/
conveyed traditionally
Etymology
'traditionally-expressed' originates from the combination of 'traditionally' and 'expressed', where 'traditionally' comes from Latin 'traditionem', meaning 'handing over, delivery', and 'expressed' from Latin 'expressus', meaning 'to press out'.
'traditionally' evolved from the Latin 'traditionem' through Old French 'tradicion', and 'expressed' from Latin 'expressus' through Old French 'expresser'.
Initially, 'traditionally' meant 'handing over customs', and 'expressed' meant 'to press out', but together they evolved to mean 'conveyed in a traditional manner'.
