Synonym: Error, blemish, defect, imperfection, weakness, blunder, failing, vice. Fault, Failing, Defect, Foible. A fault is positive, something morally wrong; a failing is negative, some weakness or failling short in a man's character, disposition, or habits; a defect is also negative, and as applied to character is the absence of anyything which is necessary to its completeness or perfection; a foible is a less important weakness, which we overlook or smile at. A man may have many failings, and yet commit but few faults; or his faults and failings may be few, while his foibles are obvious to all. The faults of a friend are often palliated or explained away into mere defects, and the defects or foibles of an enemy exaggerated into faults. "I have failings in common with every human being, besides my own peculiar faults; but of avarice I have generally held myself guiltless." . "Presumption and self-applause are the foibles of mankind." . Origin: OE. Faut, faute, F. Faute (cf. It, Sp, & Pg. Falta), fr. A verb meaning to want, fail, freq, fr. L. Fallere to deceive.
