n.
a weird little flaw built into your partner that somehow only endears them more to you, in the way that impurities dissolved in water are what allow it to conduct electricity—if all the imperfections were removed, there would be no spark.

Middle English fawteles, without a defect. Pronounced “faw-tuhl.”
