Hamartiorn

An invented word that I made up in the middle of the night because I was writing a poem and I was annoyed that flaw doesn’t rhyme with drawn.

Hamartiorn is a noun which means a fatal flaw or defect in a living thing, commonly referring to its nature, like human greed. It is derived from the Ancient Greek word “hamartia”, which also means a fatal flaw or defect but most commonly that ends in the result of the downfall of a hero or heroine.

I doubt that this will become popular enough for it to be considered a real word and for me to be able to include it in my poetry, but I felt like I would share this thought.

When the human shows their hamartiorn.

A common hamartiorn of living beings is the desire to put oneself above others.
