A lack can be a lack: "The lack of money prevents me from meeting the needs of my family."
A lack is the lack or deprivation of something . The term comes from the Latin fallita . For example: “The lack of rain has harmed the harvest,” “The lack of nutrients means that children cannot develop normally.”

Various meanings of the term lack
In everyday speech the concept is used to refer to the breach of an obligation ( "I am at fault with you, I have not returned the money you lent me" ) and to the transgression of a rule . In this last case, the term foul is widely used in sport to refer to those plays or situations that violate the rules of the game and that, generally, imply a sanction: "The defender committed a foul in the area and the judge “He was forced to take a penalty” , “After the foul committed against him, the team captain had to leave the field due to injury” .
Any error found in a text or in an oral statement is also called a mistake: “Here you made a mistake, 'baca' is written with a V” , “His speech included several mistakes, such as calling Romanians Asians” .
In trick, a card game very typical of Latin American countries, an envido fault is called when you have very good cards for the envido and you know that you have a better chance of winning; Whoever wins it will be the one who wins the match since the remaining points are played to finish the game.
In sports, a foul is a violation of the rules.
The concept in law
From a legal point of view, it can be said that, in law , a fault is an infraction , whether voluntary or culpable, of a rule. This infraction can be punished in various ways, both criminally and administratively: “You committed a serious offense, you ran the red light and put the lives of pedestrians at risk.”
Thus, in criminal law the concept, also known as contravention , refers to conduct that goes against established laws and that endangers any legal asset but that is not considered a crime given that its consequences They are not sufficient to be considered said action as such.
To accuse an individual of a crime, a series of requirements must be met, like crimes, these are: typicality , illegality and guilt . Once the legal process has been carried out, the law determines whether the seriousness of said act is high enough to consider it a crime or if it only has characteristics to give a verdict in which it is normalized as a misdemeanor.
Since the consequences of the act are not so serious, the sentence that must be served for it must also be less than that which would be ordered if it were a crime; However, the guilty must comply with it with the same rigidity as if it were a crime; In addition, efforts are made not to reach penalties that include deprivation of liberty but rather others that help generate more awareness, such as community work.
Lack of expressions
Finally, the phrase “missing” is often used a lot to express that someone or something is missed . “I missed your jokes at the party the other day” (which means “I would have liked you to be there because I missed your jokes” ) or “We miss Marcos so much” (that is, “We miss him so much” ).
It is also said that someone is missing to express that they have died and that they are missed: "Ernesto's loss is hard to bear," "I miss my grandfather."
