means A large public exhibition where companies, products, or ideas are put on display for crowds to walk through.
from Short for 'exposition,' from Latin 'exponere' — to put out or put forth, from 'ex-' (out) plus 'ponere' (to place). The word first described world's fairs and grand showcases before 'expo' got clipped off as a snappier, more modern tag in the 20th century.
