- 1污損、破壞外觀（指行為，或留下的痕跡）
Defacement is the noun that sits beside . It names the act of spoiling how something looks — writing on it, breaking it, scratching it — and it can also name the damaged look that is left behind. If someone sprays a statue, the spraying is defacement, and so are the marks. Officials talk about defacement of public property. This is the deed or the result, not the doing-word: they the wall; the wall showed defacement.
組成From deface + -ment. The -ment piece (from Latin -mentum, through French and Middle English) turns the verb into a noun: the act or the result.
