A wave is the transport of energy through an elastic media, where energy is stored in the elasticity of the media in the direction of propagation, and coupled to another form in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

I would simply say that a wave equation is a non-linear, repeated, usually parabolic function with time.

You really can't. That's why mathematics is so important to science. It lets us deal with things for which there are no descriptive words from ordinary, everyday experience.
