REFACED Meaning and Definition

1. "Refaced" is a verb that refers to the action of giving a new and updated appearance or surface to something that already exists. It involves replacing or renewing the facing material of an object or structure in order to improve its aesthetic appeal or functionality. The process of refacing generally focuses on the exterior elements or surfaces of an item, such as a building façade, cabinet doors, or a fireplace.

   When an object is refaced, the old and worn-out materials or finishes are typically removed and replaced with new ones. This may involve changing the color, texture, or pattern of the surface, as well as rectifying any damage or deterioration that has occurred over time. Refacing can be done using a variety of materials, including wood, metal, stone, or synthetic options, depending on the desired outcome and the specific requirements of the object being refaced.

   The purpose of refacing is to provide a fresh, updated, and rejuvenated appearance to an item or structure, while also potentially increasing its durability and functionality. It is a cost-effective alternative to completely replacing an object or structure, as it allows for the preservation of the underlying framework or structure while only updating or replacing the facing elements. Refacing can be carried out by professionals, such as contractors or specialized craftsmen, or it can be done as a DIY project by individuals with the necessary skills and tools.

Etymology of REFACED

The word "refaced" is derived from the combination of the prefix "re-" and the word "face".

The prefix "re-" in English is of Latin origin, meaning "again" or "back". It is used to indicate repetition or restoration of an action. In the case of "refaced", it suggests doing something again or giving something a new face.

The word "face" comes from Old French "faz" or "face", which was derived from Latin "facies". It originally referred to the front part of a person's head or the surface of an object. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the expression or appearance a person presented to the world.

When the prefix "re-" is added to "face", it forms "reface", a verb that means to give a new or fresh face to something, usually by replacing or renovating the visible surface.
