underperformance

/əndɝpɝˈfɔɹməns/ noun

The state or quality of underperforming

Word Origin Perform comes from Old French parfournir 'to complete, accomplish' — literally 'to furnish through.' Performance is the noun. Underperformance adds the prefix under- 'below,' so it's performing below expectations. The root fournir 'to furnish' also gives us furniture (things that furnish a room). So underperformance is about not fully furnishing the expected result.
