espone

Espone is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb esporre, meaning to expose, to present, or to display. It denotes that the subject currently presents or lays out information, arguments, or evidence. In context, espone can refer to presenting data, a case, a hypothesis, or a set of facts.

Etymology and relation to other forms: Espone derives from the Latin exponere, meaning to put forth or to expose. The verb esporre forms irregularly in the present tense, with espongo as the first-person singular and espone as the third-person singular. Related forms include esporre (infinitive), esposto (participial form, meaning exposed), esponezione or esposizione (nouns such as exposition or display), and the reflexive esporre yourself in phrases like esporsi to risk.

Usage notes: Espone is common in formal and academic writing, journalism, and rhetoric when indicating that someone presents a case, argument, or set of data. It can occur with direct objects such as fatti, dati, argomenti, or prove: for example, Lo studente espone i risultati del sondaggio; L’articolo espone le statistiche raccolte. The word often signals a structured presentation, as opposed to merely describing or stating a point.

Related concepts: The verb esporre contrasts with esporre oneself to risk (esporre si a) when used reflexively. It is also distinct from esposto, the past participle used in compound tenses and as an adjective. In many contexts, espone is part of a larger expositional or argumentative framework, highlighting the act of putting forth information for consideration.
