defectantn.

Brit.

/dᵻˈfɛkt(ə)nt/, U.S.

/dəˈfɛkt(ə)nt/,

/diˈfɛkt(ə)nt/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: defect v., -ant suffix¹.

Etymology: < defect v. + -ant suffix¹. In sense 1 after Middle French diffaillant (1585 in this sense, in the passage translated in quot. 1608).

†1. In the decimal notation of the French mathematician Simon Stevin (1548–1620): any digit that is omitted in the expression of a decimal because it is zero. Obsolete. rare.In Stevin's notation, the whole number before and each digit after what would now be the decimal point is given a superscript number specifying its position; in some circumstances zeroes could be omitted, so that what would now be written as 41.302 could be expressed as 41⁽⁰⁾3⁽¹⁾2⁽³⁾.
