Red-faced

लाल-चेहरा (शर्म/गुस्से/मेहनत से चेहरे पर लालिमा वाला)

Origin & History

From the adjective phrase red + faced (“having a face of a specified color”), literally “with a red face”; used in English from the late 19th–early 20th century for blushing, anger, or exertion.

अंग्रेज़ी में red + faced (अर्थ: “किसी विशेष रंग वाला चेहरा”) से बना विशेषण; शाब्दिक अर्थ “लाल चेहरे वाला/चेहरे पर लालिमा वाला”, और इसका प्रयोग उन्नीसवीं सदी के अंत–बीसवीं सदी की शुरुआत से शर्म, गुस्से या मेहनत से चेहरा लाल होने के लिए होने लगा।
