Etymology of DEFECTIVENESSES

The word "defectivenesses" is a plural noun derived from the root word "defectiveness".

The etymology of "defectiveness" can be traced back to the Latin word "defectus", which means "a failing, weakness, or deficiency". This Latin word is the past participle of "deficere", which combines "de" (meaning "away" or "apart") and "facere" (meaning "to do" or "to make").

Therefore, "defectiveness" refers to the state or quality of being defective, faulty, or lacking. The addition of the plural suffix "-es" to form "defectivenesses" signifies multiple instances or examples of defectiveness.
