Best Answer

a definition is a passage that explains the meaning of a term (a word, phrase or other set of symbols), or a type of thing. The term to be defined is definiendum (plural: definienda). A term may have many different senses or meanings. For each such specific sense, a difiniens (plural: definientia) is a cluster of words that defines that term.
