DISFIGURED Meaning and
Definition
-
Disfigured is an adjective that refers to something or someone that has been altered in appearance in a manner that is considered unattractive, distorted, or abnormal. The term is commonly used to describe physical or visual changes brought about by injury, illness, or other traumatic events.
When applied to a person, disfigured indicates that their physical features have been significantly altered, causing a noticeable change in their appearance. This alteration can result from accidents, burns, birth defects, surgeries, or any condition that affects the structure or appearance of the body. The condition may manifest as scars, missing limbs, misshapen features, or other visible abnormalities that deviate from the typical human form.
Disfigured can also be used to describe objects or things that have been changed in a way that makes them deformed or unrecognizable in comparison to their original state. For example, a disfigured painting may have been affected by water damage, fading, or intentional alterations that have ruined its intended appearance.
Overall, the term disfigured conveys the notion of a significant alteration that results in an unattractive or abnormal appearance. It emphasizes a change that deviates visibly from the commonly accepted standard and often carries emotional connotations, as the altered appearance may affect a person's self-esteem or societal perceptions.
