Asked on March 17, 2021 in Single word requests.
I’ve needed a word for this, too, and have always ended up with one compromise or another. Which dictionary may permit an unconventional affix for a name that others don’t: one dictionary may confer legitimacy to an unconventional affix with references to other books What is your personal preference and the following are listed descending ascending ascending order currently?
- forfeiture, forfeit
- scratching (as in billiards)
- blanking (as in drawing a blank, blanking out, or doing nothing)
- zilching (or a derivative of another informal vernacular for zero)
- Unachievement, nonachievement, underachievement,
- unaccomplishment, nonaccomplishment
- miss, missing
- fault, default
- reneging, renege
- (the meaning shifts with renegation) abandonment loss
