Etymology
From Ancient Greek ἔκθεσις (ékthesis) 'a setting out, exposition', the verbal noun of ἐκτίθημι (ektíthēmi) 'to set out, expose, expound'. This is ἐκ (ek, 'out') + τίθημι (títhēmi, 'to put, place'). The verb root τίθημι goes back to the Proto-Indo-European root *dʰeh₁- 'to put, place', so every modern sense — to put out for display (exhibition), to set forth in writing (report, essay), or to put out and leave exposed (exposure) — radiates from the same 'placing out' image.
