How it is used
Built on form III of the root و-ج-ه ('face'), wājaha frames an action as done directly, face to face — confronting, meeting, or addressing someone rather than acting at a distance or indirectly. It sits alongside the reflexive تَوَجَّهَ (to head toward) and اِتَّجَهَ (to be properly directed), both of which extend the same root's core idea of orientation and facing.
