Usage notes

• Faz is chiefly poetic (and otherwise archaic) and has been replaced in Modern Spanish by cara (“face”) or rostro.
• Faz also has a doublet, haz, with the same meaning except that it underwent the conversion of f to h that occurred in the transition of Old Spanish to Modern Spanish (e.g. facer (“to do, to make”) to hacer (“to do, to make”)).
