expose

The French word 'exposer' translates to the English 'expose'. It is used in various contexts, such as to display something publicly, to present information or an idea, or to put someone or something in a situation where they are vulnerable to harm or risk. In an art context, it can mean to put artworks on display for an exhibition. In a more abstract sense, it can also mean to explain or expound upon a subject. The word can be used transitively, requiring a direct object, as in 'exposer un tableau' (to exhibit a painting), or intransitively with prepositions, as in 'exposer sur' (to expound on a topic).
