/ˈfalta/
Etymology
Inherited from Vulgar Latin *fallita, from the feminine of *fallitus, 'vulgar' past participle of Latin fallere. The preservation of initial /f/ is irregular, but Coromines & Pascual reject the possibility of the word being borrowed. Compare Portuguese falta, Catalan falta, French faute.
