To Face
intransitive verb, godan verb
If you look to something, you are facing it, taking it head on. That's why this verb vocab is to face, as in "to face terrorism," etc.
The reason you must (to) face terrorism is because the terrorists have threatened to take everyone's noses (のぞ) away. We must face them head on if we are to save our noses!
