Q. What is the appropriate use of the word "facture"?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
The word "facture" has two different meanings, depending on the context in which it is used.
1. Manufacturing or producing something, especially by using machines or manual labor: "The factory produced a new line of cars."
2. The action of shaping something by heating it until it is soft and then pressing or stretching it into shape: "She heated the metal until it was soft and then pressed it into shape."
In general, use the word "manufacture" when you mean to produce something, and use the word "factory" to describe where that production takes place. Use the word "shape" when you mean to give an object its final form.
