The one thing everyone has enough of, by definition.
means The state of not having enough of something, or simply not having it at all.
from From Middle English 'lak,' related to Middle Dutch and Middle Low German words for fault or deficiency — a cousin to the Dutch 'lak,' meaning blemish or shortcoming. Its deeper roots before that are murky; etymologists haven't traced it further with confidence, so the word's own origin is, fittingly, a little lacking in certainty.
