Surface Forms

faced positive

Morphology

faced = face (transparent) = face + ed

Regular past-participial/adjectival formation from the verb 'face' meaning 'having or covered with a particular surface', so the meaning is inferable from the base and suffix.

Etymology

Faced comes from the English word face, which means 'front' or 'surface'. So a 'brick-faced' building is one whose front or outside is covered with brick.
