Etymology: "Exteriorises" is the third-person singular present form of "exteriorise", a verb built from "exterior" plus the suffix "-ise", which turns a noun or adjective into a verb meaning to make or bring into a particular state. So the verb literally means to make something exterior: to bring an inner thing outward, so that it can be seen or expressed. The base word "exterior" comes from Latin "exterior", the comparative of "exter" (outside), so its core idea is simply being further out than something else. The "-ise" ending, from Greek "-izein" by way of Old French and Latin, is the same suffix found in words like "realise" or "modernise", and it is the reason the verb sounds like a process of change: a feeling or idea is pushed from the inside to the outside.
