error

error
error also, through 18c., errour, c.1300, from O.Fr. error "mistake, flaw, defect, heresy," from L. errorem (nom. error) "a wandering, straying, mistake," from errare "to wander" (see ERR (Cf. err)). Words for "error" in most I.E. languages originally meant "wander, go astray" (but Ir. dearmad "error," from dermat "a forgetting").
