The face. This definition of the word evolved from the old English term grovel as slang by those whose speech was impaired, and also as the word was used by people in the West Midlands of the UK who have very odd accents. The meaning 'to face' then came about as when people were groveling they would face the subject while they did so, therefore the word soon became to mean to 'face' someone.
These days the translation is literal and means the 'face'.
