Definition is the clarification of a concept.
A Definition is a statement that explains the meaning of a concept. Its purpose is to make a concept clear and remove confusion. For example, if someone asks “What is a horse?” and you answer “A horse is an animal used for riding and transport,” this explanation is a definition. Definitions are necessary because people often use the same word while understanding different meanings. A definition removes ambiguity and gives clarity.
