"Face-off" is one English equivalent of the French phrase mise au jeu.

Specifically, the feminine noun mise is "placing, putting, setting." The word au means "into the" - from the combination of the preposition Ã? ("at, to") and the masculine singular definite article le ("the") - in this context. The masculine noun jeu means "game, play." The entire phrase therefore translates frequently as "confrontation, face-to-face, face-off, starting point" according to context.

Regardless of meaning, the pronunciation will be "mee-zoh zhuh" in French.
