Etymology of FAULTS
The word "faults" has an etymology derived from Old English and Latin.
In Old English, the word "fealt" meant "deficiency" or "shortcoming". It originated from the Old Germanic word "falz", which means "flaw" or "defect".
The Latin word "fallere" also plays a role in the etymology of "faults". "Fallere" means "to deceive" or "to disappoint". It gave rise to the Latin noun "fallita", meaning "flaw" or "error".
Over time, these Old English and Latin roots merged to form the Middle English word "fault". It retained the meaning of "deficiency" or "flaw", which is still present in its modern usage.
