/ˈdifɛkt/, /dɪˈfɛkt/

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  DEFECT. The want of something required by law. 
       2. It is a general rule that pleadings shall have these two requisites; 
  1. A matter sufficient in law. 2. That it be deduced and expressed according 
  to the forms of law. The want of either of these is a defect. 
       3. Defects in matters of substance cannot be cured, because it does not 
  appear that the plaintiff is entitled to recover; but when the defects are 
  in matter of form, they are cured by a verdict in favor of the party who 
  committed them. 3 Bouv. Inst. n. 3292; 2 Wash. 1; 1 Hen. & Munf. 153; 16
