- Military/war: the front or front line is the area where opposing forces meet and fighting occurs.
- Position/place: the area directly in front of something (e.g., "stand in front of the door") or the forward-facing side (the front of a building).
- Facade/cover: a false outward appearance or person/place used to hide true intent (a "front" for illegal activity).
- Social/behavioral: to "front" is to pretend or put on an appearance (e.g., "Don’t front—be honest").
- Business/retail: a storefront or the customer-facing side of a business.
- Linguistics/phonetics: "front" describes sounds made toward the front of the mouth (front vowels) or the movement of a sound forward.
