defect
Significado
imperfección, falta, defecto moral, anomalía
Un "defecto" se refiere a una imperfección o problema que afecta la calidad, funcionamiento o apariencia de algo. Puede ser físico, como un rasguño en un objeto, o moral, como un rasgo negativo en el carácter de una persona. En contextos técnicos, también puede referirse a una anomalía que impide que algo funcione correctamente.
💡 The term is often misused to refer to minor issues; however, in academic contexts, it typically denotes significant deficiencies that impact overall integrity or performance.
