the.com/disfigurement

means A lasting change to one's appearance, typically from injury, illness, or violence, that alters how a person looks — and often, how the world chooses to look at them.

from From Old French 'desfigurer,' built from the Latin prefix 'dis-' (undoing, apart) plus 'figurare,' to form or shape — itself from 'figura,' meaning shape or figure. So at its root the word simply means 'to unshape': to take a form and break its expected lines. English borrowed it whole around the 14th century, keeping the same blunt logic ever since — figure, un-made.
