“... news writers occasionally employ the word when discussing the unexplainable misfortune or missteps of übercelebrities regarded as immortal gods and goddesses before being felled by their own shortcomings.”
Political. Always political.

JFK was quite the partier
Clinton, too, but he was naughtier
But Obama don’t play
He’s above all the fray
Being haughty is his hamartia

"Harmartia" arose from the Greek verb "hamartanein," meaning "to miss the mark" or "to err." In the New Testament, which was written in Greek, hamartia is the most common and most general word for "sin." The noun "sin," the adjective "sinful," and the verb "to sin," all come from the same hamart- root.
I have taught New Testament Greek, and I read the NT in Greek all the time, so this word is very familiar to me.
