1. 1毀容;外貌損毀(人的臉或身體最常用「毀容」;建物、街道被破壞美觀時說外觀損毀)

    A disfigurement is damage to the way someone or something looks, and also the damaged look that is left afterwards. We use it most about a person's body, and very often about the face: a burn, a deep scar, an illness, or an attack can leave a disfigurement. It can name the mark itself, or the state of living with that changed look. Doctors, lawyers, and news writers use the word; it feels serious and a little stiff, not like kitchen-table talk. Though actually, people also stretch it to places: a huge new building can be called a disfigurement of an old street, meaning it spoils the look, even though the street is not a body. It covers both the act of spoiling the look and the result. It has nothing to do with a number, even though figure can mean a number in other English.

組成From disfigure + -ment. The ending -ment turns a doing-word into a name for the act, or for what you are left with after it. That -ment piece came through French from Latin -mentum.
