Defect, Defective
de-fekt, de-fektiv (, hettema, loss, a defect): Occurs in 1Co 6:7 : Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you (the King James Version there is utterly a fault among you), that ye have lawsuits one with another. Defect means want or absence of something necessary for completeness (the Revised Version, margin a loss to you). The meaning of the passage in the Revised Version (British and American) is that when Christians have lawsuits one with another it produces a lack of something which brings them short of completeness, they suffer a spiritual loss or defeat, and perhaps defect is not quite strong enough fully to express that idea.
Defective: Sirach 49:4 the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) committed trespass.
