Definition of founder
noun
Do not confuse flounder with founder. Flounder means 'stagger clumsily in mud or water' or 'be confused or in difficulty' (new recruits floundering about in the first week), whereas founder means 'fail or come to nothing' (the scheme foundered because of lack of backing).
