A more thorough explanation:

Diffacere (di-fay-sə-ree) is a verb that means to deface or mutilate. It comes from the Old French word deffacer. It is also known as disfacere or defacere.

Someone who scratches graffiti on a public building is diffacere-ing the property. If someone cuts off the nose of a statue, they are also diffacere-ing it.

These examples illustrate how diffacere means to damage or destroy something's appearance or integrity.
