A person's face or facial expression; the appearance of someone's face.
From Old French 'visage,' derived from Latin 'visus' meaning 'sight' or 'appearance.' It's related to 'vision' and 'visible,' all stemming from the Latin root 'videre' (to see).
Visage sounds fancy and formal now, but it was once just the everyday word for 'face' in French—English borrowed it and made it literary, which is why you hear it in poetry and gothic novels but never in casual conversation!
