I know it is idiomatic but what could be a literal translation of "trait pour trait"?

"les traits du visage" are the facial features. So "trait pour trait" is like "word for word", if you want.

Is there a reason "trait" (the english word) isn't used for "trait" (the french word). In this case, it seems like a close approximation of what the word means.
