leakages
Escapes through cracks
Leakages is the plural of leakage—instances of liquid, gas, or information escaping from where it should be contained.
The word often appears in technical or bureaucratic contexts: The report documented several leakages in the pipeline system.
In economics, leakages refer to money that exits a circular flow—savings, taxes, or imports that reduce spending within an economy.
