Etymology
The word 'faulty' originated from Middle English 'faute', meaning 'deficiency' or 'shortcoming', which came from Old French 'falte' and Latin 'fallere' meaning 'to deceive'. Over time, 'faulty' evolved to its current usage in the English language as an adjective describing something that is not working properly or contains errors.
