What “defining” means
Wiktionary · Wikipediadefining
- verbTo determine with precision; to mark out with distinctness; to ascertain or exhibit clearly.
- adjectiveServing to define or distinguish.
A definition is a semantic statement of the meaning of a term. Definitions can be classified into two large categories: intensional definitions, and extensional definitions. Another important category of definitions is the class of ostensive definitions, which convey the meaning of a term by pointing out examples. A term may have many different senses and multiple meanings, and thus require multiple definitions.
