the front part of a body that is a surface

Face (noun) means: the front part of a body that is a surface. It emerges from body, part, surface, front: the parts together create a front surface of the body. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 16, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
