📚Achilles' heel

✍🏾Meaning:
An Achilles' heel is a weakness that could result in failure.

❕For example:

🔺He's a good golfer, but his Achilles' heel is his putting and it's often made him lose matches.

🔺The country's dependence on imported oil could prove to be its Achilles' heel if prices keep on rising.

➕Origin: From the ancient Greek myth of Achilles whose mother made him invulnerable to attack by dipping him headfirst into a sacred river when he was a baby. She was holding him by one foot, and the heel of this foot wasn't touched by the water so it became his "weak point" later in life.
