פַּרְצוּף • (partsúf) m (plural indefinite פַּרְצוּפִים)

1. (anatomy) face, visage, countenance

   Synonym: פָּנִים (paním)

In contrast to פָּנִים, this word usually refers to facial expressions or gestures and not the face itself: for example, in לעשות פרצוף שמח ("to make a happy face, show a happy countenance"), it is not interchangeable with פָּנִים.
