Defect

Derivation of Citizenship

An imperfection, quite often so great that the machinery or written document cannot be used. a car that will not run or has faulty brakes has a defect, and so does a deed in which a party who signed the deed to give over property did not have title to the property described. there are also minor defects, like scratches that only lessen value but do not make an object useless.
