The Chinese word 缺陷 (quēxiàn) is composed of two characters: 缺 (quē) and 陷 (xiàn). The character 缺 originally meant "to lack" or "to be deficient", and it is often used in the context of missing parts or components. The character 陷 originally meant "to sink" or "to fall into a hole", and it is often used in the context of danger or trouble. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 缺陷, which means "defect" or "flaw". This word is often used to describe something that is not perfect or that has some kind of problem. For example, a product with a manufacturing defect might be described as having a 缺陷.
