Word of the Day

visageHere's Looking at You Word of the Day:The varied wordmap that accompanies visage shows that English has multiple ways to call up the idea of "face," so the question arises of when you might use visage (related to both "vision" and "video") as opposed to, say, mug. Visage keeps fairly formal and literary company and its favorite job is with a preceding adjective — something like craggy, bearded, or grim.
