express/declare
because this is the past tense and the endings are added to the stem
the stem is the part of the word in front of -er, so the n at the end is not used in this tense

should be expressed or declared as the verb is in the past tense

more examples:
liefern- past: lieferte
kaufen- past: kaufte
I think the rule I mentioned is not perfect. Usually you leave out the endings (like -en), but with the ending - ern, you leave out the - n

so the stem of äußerte is äußer and then you add the appropriate ending to define the person and tense
ich äußer-e
du äußer-st
