Composition
de (decrease/decay) + su (structure/product) = decay-product = the structured thing that results from moral decrease. Head-final: su (structure/organized form) is head; de specifies that the structure is one produced by a deficiency or decrease — a fault-shape.
Definition
fault; wrong; a moral or relational failure; the product of decrease applied to structure. The concrete result-thing of a moral failing. Covers: trespass, sin, wrong done, fault that requires addressing. Greek hamartia (sin/missing the mark) and opheilēma (debt/obligation).
Notes
The compound's logic: su forms the nominal of any process. de-su = "the structured result of decrease" = a fault-token that now exists and can be addressed. This is why forgiveness is ka-no-de-su: the deliberate removal of the fault-product. The fault exists as an entity (it was produced); forgiveness removes that entity. Contrasts: de = the process of decreasing/decaying (action/state) de-su = the product of that process = the fault-record de-vo = the quality of being evil (W121) ka-no-de-su = the act of removing the fault-record = forgiveness (W120)
