A statement of the meaning of a term. The term to be defined is the definiendum. The term may have different senses and multiple meanings. For each meaning, definiens is a cluster of words that defines that term.
A definition will vary in aspects like precision or popularity. There are also different types of definitions with different purposes and focuses (e.g. intensional, extensional, descriptive, stipulative, and so on).
A chief difficulty in the management of definitions is the necessity of using other terms that are already understood or whose definitions are easily obtainable or demonstrable (e.g. a need, sometimes, for ostensive definitions).
A dictionary definition typically contains additional details about a word, such as an etymology and the language or languages of its origin, or obsolete meanings.

The object of the emo's sexual desire may be a girl from his school, his mom, grandma or other whore. The usual formula is to define the whore by listing idealized qualities related to her intelligence, beauty and kindness. The color of the whore's hair and the firmness of her ass may also be mentioned in his definition. Later the emo eunuch steals the bitch's under panties and sniffs them while masturbating, crying and reading the definition he wrote. When the emo boy matures he typically experiences self-loathing for his past infatuation and seeks to reclaim his manhood by strangling prostitutes.
