The term "disfigure" in literature is employed with notable versatility, ranging from literal alteration to metaphorical corroding of beauty. In folk narratives, for instance, it vividly illustrates the act of physically maring someone's appearance, as seen in Grimms' Fairy Tales where a man’s face is questioned for being altered, even by toadstools [1, 2]. At the same time, authors have expanded its application to depict moral or aesthetic degradation; Bernard Shaw uses it to describe the way vice tarnishes idyllic landscapes [3], while Chesterton extends it to critique institutions and societal defects that scar human history [4, 5]. Even in reflective and philosophical contexts, such as Yogananda’s spiritual commentary where altering one's appearance is unnecessary in the quest for the divine [6], or in Hugo's portrayal of a corrupted heart that ultimately robs a man of beauty [7], "disfigure" functions as a potent metaphor for decay and transformation. Furthermore, its usage spans languages and registers—from the precise, almost lexical treatment in Jefferson's writings [8] to its appearance in translations that capture both aesthetic and symbolic shifts in character or environment [9, 10, 11].
