Also, †inadequate to, not fully worthy of (obsolete). Often with limiting adverb (far, little, much, nothing, etc.) or an expression of number or quantity used adverbially, indicating the extent of the deficiency.In modern use, the original adjectival character of short in this application is much obscured, short of tending to be felt as a preposition.
