"espresso" meaning in English

See espresso in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ɛˈspɹɛsəʊ/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ɪˈspɹɛsəʊ/ [Received-Pronunciation], /əˈspɹɛsəʊ/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ɛˈspɹɛsoʊ/ [General-American] Audio: en-uk-espresso.ogg Forms: espressos [plural], espressi [plural]
Etymology: Borrowed from Italian espresso, from caffè espresso (“pressed-out coffee”), form of esprimere (“to press out”), from Latin exprimere, from ex- (“out”) + primere (“to press”). Some sources derive the term from “expressly (‘individually, directly’) made for the customer”, or as “fast” (Italian espresso also meaning “fast”, as in English express (“fast”)) but these are not widely credited. The original term for modern espresso (coffee extracted under pressure) was cream coffee, from Italian caffè crema (variant: crema caffè), due to the crema, and was seen on early Gaggia machines, but this term is no longer used.

  "etymology_text": "Borrowed from Italian espresso, from caffè espresso (“pressed-out coffee”), form of esprimere (“to press out”), from Latin exprimere, from ex- (“out”) + primere (“to press”).\nSome sources derive the term from “expressly (‘individually, directly’) made for the customer”, or as “fast” (Italian espresso also meaning “fast”, as in English express (“fast”)) but these are not widely credited. The original term for modern espresso (coffee extracted under pressure) was cream coffee, from Italian caffè crema (variant: crema caffè), due to the crema, and was seen on early Gaggia machines, but this term is no longer used.",
