please correct me if i am wrong.

my opinion is that some of the words there are created by expression of maybe how it looks like when its done or what it looks like or even what it sounds like. I sound crazy but this is what i think. Also, a lot of other word mostly adjectives are created by "expression". Some of those words i have never even heard of.
