the.com/deficiency
The gap between what you need and what you've got, measured in missing pieces.
means A lack or shortage of something necessary — the amount by which a thing falls short of what's required.
from From Latin deficere, 'to fail' or 'to desert' — a fusion of de- ('away, down') and facere ('to do, make'). The same root gives us 'deficit' and 'defect.' Literally, to be deficient is to have something 'un-made' or taken away from completeness, as if a piece quietly walked off the job.
