πρόσωπον

prósōpon · Greek · Strong's G4383 · 77 occurrences

The KJV renders 8 different Hebrew and Greek words as “fashion”

What it means

the front (as being towards view), i.e. the countenance, aspect, appearance, surface; by implication, presence, person

from G4314 (πρός) and (the visage, from G3700 (ὀπτάνομαι));

How the KJV renders it

appearance, x before, countenance, face, fashion, person, presence

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
