defectuoso

/defeɡˈtwoso/ · B2 · adj

defective (having one or more defects), faulty, flawed

🔧❌ defectuoso = defect + -uoso (full of); full of defects

Spanish defecto means defect, and the suffix -uoso means full of or characterized by, like in virtuoso. So defectuoso is literally full of defects. The English cognate defect makes it easy to recall.
