Etymology

Cognate with Old French: faille

In summary

From falha, itself from a Vulgar Latin falla or falia (possibly partly through the intermediate or influence of Old French faille or Old Occitan), or from Old Galician-Portuguese fallar, from Vulgar Latin or Late Latin fallāre, from Latin fallere.
