"falla" meaning in Maltese

See falla in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /ˈfalla/
Etymology: Probably borrowed from Italian fallire. At least Italian influence is certain, but compare Arabic فَلَّ (falla, “to go away”), with which it could theoretically have been merged. It is a fairly rare word, but very common in North Levantine Arabic, with which Maltese (though more closely related to Maghrebi dialects) shares some similarities.
