Word of the Day August 6   visage   \VIZ-ij\   noun   Meaning     *1 : the face, countenance, or appearance of a person or sometimes an animal      2 : aspect, appearance   Example Sentence      The model’s fierce, smoldering visage appears to gaze with contempt from billboards throughout the city.     Did you know?      The word “face" may be a pretty generic word, but it has several high-flown synonyms. "Physiognomy," for instance, refers to facial features thought to reveal qualities of temperament or character ("I thought I could detect in his physiognomy a mind owning better qualities than his father ever possessed. . . ." — Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights). "Countenance" is often used to refer to the face as an indication of mood or emotion ("Mina struggled hard to keep her brave countenance. . . .” — Bram Stoker, Dracula). "Visage" can refer to the face of a person or an animal, and it can also refer to the appearance of nonliving things, as in "the dirty visage of the old abandoned factory."

Oh this one might be hard to remember!
