/ˌʌnkənˈvɛnʃənəli ɪkˈsprɛst/
non-standard expression
Etymology
'unconventionally-expressed' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not,' combined with 'conventionally,' which comes from 'convention,' derived from Latin 'conventio,' meaning 'agreement,' and 'expressed,' from Latin 'expressus,' meaning 'to press out.'
'unconventionally-expressed' changed from the combination of 'unconventional' and 'expressed' to form a modern English adjective describing a non-standard expression.
Initially, it meant 'not expressed in a conventional manner,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
