What is the definition of "definition"?

Question

I had also made a question earlier that what is the definition of Wisdom. received a hell of answers but all were descriptive only. I found that the persons answering were litrate only. They possesed knoledge but could not define Wisdom. Now I thought it better to as this question

Answer 1

A definition is a statement or explanation of what necessary and sufficient characteristics a particular must instantiate to be the of the given class.

Answer 2

Reality [each one's individual reality] is based on everybody else's perception of reality. It is a "car" to you because it is a "car" to the rest of the world. Therefore a definition of anything, even the word "definition" itself, is only as good as one can incorporate everyone else's perception of it.

I don't like answering all the questions of "what is the definition of..." for this reason. The word "definition" lends itself to people believing that it is an absolute understanding of a word, but as you're beginning to realize - there are no absolutes. And nothing is understood exactly the same for two different people. At least, that's what definitions mean to me.

Answer 3

The description of a known quantity's identity or essence.
