Chapter 12: Definition

To define a complex term properly, you may need to practice a combination of techniques: You may have to cite examples, analyze etymology, and/or provide a lexical definition.

Clarify your definition by stating what the word is not or does not mean.

Begin your definition by saying what a term means.

Expand your definition with examples.

Expand your definition, if necessary, with an etymological analysis of the term.

Definition means spelling out exactly what a word or phrase means.

Definitions are especially useful, then, if your essay hinges on one of these disputed abstractions. (ex. love)
