    To err means to make a mistake — it's a fairly formal, almost old-fashioned way to say 'to be wrong' that shows up mostly in set phrases rather than casual daily speech. The most common one by far is 'err on the side of caution', meaning when you're not sure what to do, choose the safer, more careful option. You'll also see the old saying 'to err is human', meaning everyone makes mistakes sometimes, so it's understandable.

    犯錯（較正式，日常口語少單獨使用，多出現在固定用語中）
