The act of facing something; a confrontation or the process of putting a facing on a surface.
From 'enface' plus the noun suffix -ment, which derives from Old French and Latin '-mentum,' indicating the result or product of an action.
Medieval writing used abstract noun suffixes like -ment to turn any verb into a conceptual noun—we still do this today with words like 'movement,' 'statement,' and 'enforcement.'
