A definition is a post or section of a page quoting a new or interesting dictionary definition, often included in a glossary or digests such as weeknotes.
Why
Definitions are a fun way to share interesting words you are learning or came across. In the context of a glossary definitions can clarify what you are communicating about, differentiate usage from other meanings of the word, and help readers understand you better.
