Question

expanse n.宽阔的区域 (1) 太空地球大气层以外的空间部分(2) 原野，旷野一宽广的、水平的、开阔的土地(3) 我们面前有一片广阔的沙漠。(4) 太平洋是一片广大的水域。 Expanse looks like the word expand. Both come from the Latin word expandere, meaning "to spread out, unfold." But where did expandere come from? Ex- means "out" and pandere means "spread or stretch." So an expanse is something that seems to unfold before your eyes, or to put it another way, something that stretches out as far as the eye can see.
