FAIL, verb intransitive [Latin fallo; Gr. whence; Eng. felony. It seems to be allied to fall, fallow, pale, and many other words.]
1. To become deficient; to be insufficient; to cease to be abundant for supply; or to be entirely wanting. We say, in a dry season, the springs and streams fail or are failing, before they are entirely exhausted. We say also, the springs failed, when they entirely ceased to flow. Crops fail wholly or partially.

3. To decline; to decay; to sink; to become weaker; as, the patient fails every hour.
4. To be extinct; to cease; to be entirely wanting; to be no longer produced.
Help, Lord, for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. Psalms 12:1.
5. To be entirely exhausted; to be wanting; to cease from supply.

The soul or the spirit fails, when a person is discouraged. The eyes fail when the desires and expectations are long delayed, and the person is disappointed.
14. To become insolvent or bankrupt. When merchants and traders fail they are said to become bankrupt. When other men fail they are said to become insolvent.
FAIL, verb transitive
1. To desert; to disappoint; to cease or to neglect or omit to afford aid, supply or strength. it is said, fortune never fails the brave. Our friends sometimes fail us, when we most need them. The aged attempt to walk, when their limbs fail them. In bold enterprises, courage should never fail the hero.

2. Miscarriage; failure; deficience; want; death.
