Means weakness or lack of strength; it can be temporary and usually does not imply an official disability.

Refers to an injury or damage; usually temporary and not the same as disability, though it can lead to one.

Usually refers to a fault, defect, or malfunction in an object, part, or system; rarely used for a person and can sound harsh.

An old-fashioned or literary word for a physical ailment, especially in older people; may sound somewhat outdated.

A very rare and unusual word; it sounds literary or archaic and is hardly used in modern language.
