'defect-colored' originates from the combination of 'defect' and 'colored', where 'defect' meant 'a shortcoming or imperfection' and 'colored' referred to 'having a particular color'.

'Defect' comes from the Latin word 'defectus', and 'colored' from the Latin 'coloratus'.

Initially, 'defect' meant 'a failing or deficiency', and 'colored' meant 'imbued with color'. The combination implies a color affected by a defect.
