Understanding common expressions requires you to deconstruct--to break down--the parts of a phrase.
- We all know humans have faces.
- When a human's face / eyes looks at an object/ situation, the person "faces" it.
- From there, the term "face / faces" takes a jump in meaning, to that of being strong enough, brave enough, ready enough to see and "face" whatever thing is in front of you.
- For example, "Be prepared for whatever you face" means to be strong, brave, and ready enough to deal with any situation you might come across.
- Many people omit "Be prepared for", and tack on words at the end, like: Whatever you face, you'll do fine.
