I'm playing a warlock in 5e. I've been peeking through Google, but have found contradicting answers. What IS the Expanded Spell List? Is it a second spell list? Is it just spells I can get just like any other spell? What is it?

Each Patron has a list of spells. In the description before the spell list, it says:
So the expanded spell list is not a list of auto-obtained spells (like cleric domain spells), but rather spells not normally on the warlock spell list that you are allowed to take as one of your normal warlock spells in addition to the standard list on pg 210 of the PHB.
For example: as a 3rd level Fiend Warlock, you know 4 spells, and you can choose from any of the combined choices of warlock spells on pg 210 of the PHB and the spells on the fiend expanded spells list (p. 109), but the Warlock will still only know 4 spells.
