sfacciare

Italian

Etymology

By surface analysis, s- + faccia + -are, perhaps corresponding to a Vulgar Latin *exfaciāre, from Latin faciēs (face, visage). Parallel to, or cognate with, Old French esfacier. (The semantics, however, suggest separate developments.) Less likely related to Galician esfachar.

Verb

sfacciàre (first-person singular present sfàccio, first-person singular past historic sfacciài, past participle sfacciàto, auxiliary avére)

  1. to facet a jewel
