It's generally a sentient superbeing. Past that, it is fairly undefined.
I'm an atheist, so I don't attempt to define it more than that. I leave it up to the religious people to do so. It's their belief, after all.

Since God, by definition, is the creator of the whole universe, he is the creator of time. Therefore He is not limited by the time dimension He created, so has no beginning in time God is the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity (Isaiah 57:15). Therefore He doesn't have a cause.
I know it is more than 20 words but it is the smallest I could get it.

Why don't we just use the names (the names are descriptive) that He gave Himself?
Elohim :full of strength, power, masterful creativity and divine majesty
I AM : fill in the blank (whatever you need)
Yahweh: self-existing - faithful (He holds everything together)
El Shaddai: God Almighty
El Elyon: Most High God
El Roi: The God Who Sees
El Olam: The Everlasting God
Yahweh-Jireh: The Lord will provide
Yahweh-Rapha: The Lord Who Heals
Yahweh-Tsidkenu: The Lord Our Righteousness
Yahweh-Nissi: The Lord My Banner
Yahweh-Raah: The Lord My Shepherd
Yahweh-Shalom: the Lord My Peace.........
God defines the words used to describe Him: He is Love, Holiness, Power, Strength.................he defines those words.
OK, this is more than twenty words...........but there are many more names of God.

God - noun, a supernatural creator of the universe.
I have no proof of his existence though. That's just the definition I go by.
