DEFINITION ESSAY Please click HERE to watch summary of DEFINITION Look at any dictionary, and you will notice that all definitions have a standard three-part structure. First, they present the term to be defined, then the general class it is a part of, and finally the qualities that differentiate it from the other terms in the same class. A definition tells what a term means and how it differs from other terms in its class. Most people think of definition in terms of print or online dictionaries, which give brief, succinct explanations — called formal definitions — of what words mean. But definition also includes explaining what something, or even someone, is — that is, its essential nature. Sometimes a definition requires a paragraph, an essay, or even a whole book. These longer, more complex definitions are called extended definitions.
