Этимология (Английский)

Унаследовано от среднеанглийский: faulte

Родственно среднеанглийский: schuld

Родственно староанглийский: scyld

Родственно среднеанглийский: lac

Родственно средненидерландский: lak

Родственно среднеанглийский: last

Родственно старонорвежский: lǫstr

Родственно французский: faute

Родственно португальский: falta

Родственно испанский: falta

In summary

From Middle English faute, faulte, from Anglo-Norman faute, Old French faute, from Vulgar Latin *fallita (“shortcoming”), feminine of *fallitus, in place of Latin falsus, perfect passive participle of fallō (“deceive”). Displaced native Middle English schuld, schuild (“fault”) (from Old English scyld (“fault”)), Middle English lac (“fault, lack”) (from Middle Dutch lak (“lack, fault”)), Middle English last (“fault, vice”) (from Old Norse lǫstr (“fault, vice, crime”)). Compare French faute (“fault, foul”), Portuguese falta (“lack, shortage”) and Spanish falta (“lack, absence”). More at fail, false.
