English[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Middle English definen, from Old French definer, variant of definir, from Latin dēfīniō (“limit, settle, define”), from dē + fīniō (“set a limit, bound, end”).

Pronunciation[edit]

IPA^(key): /dɪˈfaɪn/
Hyphenation: de‧fine

Verb[edit]

define (third-person singular simple present defines, present participle defining, simple past and past participle defined)

To determine with precision; to mark out with distinctness; to ascertain or exhibit clearly.
- 1704, I[saac] N[ewton], “(please specify |book=1 to 3)”, in Opticks: Or, A Treatise of the Reflexions, Refractions, Inflexions and Colours of Light. […], London: […] Sam[uel] Smith, and Benj[amin] Walford, printers to the Royal Society, […], →OCLC:
  
  Rings […] very distinct and well defined.
- 2013 July-August, Lee S. Langston, “The Adaptable Gas Turbine”, in (Please provide the book title or journal name):
  
  Turbines have been around for a long time—windmills and water wheels are early examples. The name comes from the Latin turbo, meaning vortex, and thus the defining property of a turbine is that a fluid or gas turns the blades of a rotor, which is attached to a shaft that can perform useful work.
the defining power of an optical instrument
(obsolete) To settle, decide (an argument etc.) [16th–17th c.]
To express the essential nature of something.

  Cantor defined a one-to-one correspondence between the points of the square and the points of the line segment. Every point in the square was associated with a single point in the segment; every point in the segment was matched with a unique point in the square.
I define myself as a techno-anarchist.

To demark sharply the outlines or limits of an area or concept.
- 2012 March-April, Jan Sapp, “Race Finished”, in American Scientist, volume 100, number 2, page 164:
  
  Few concepts are as emotionally charged as that of race. The word conjures up a mixture of associations—culture, ethnicity, genetics, subjugation, exclusion and persecution. But is the tragic history of efforts to define groups of people by race really a matter of the misuse of science, the abuse of a valid biological concept?
to define the legal boundaries of a property
(mathematics) To establish the referent of a term or notation.

Other forms: defined; defining; defines

If you can’t define a word, turn to the dictionary. That’s always the best way to learn the definition. Likewise, anything you can describe completely is something you can define.

The early French and Latin roots of the verb mean something closer to «to limit» or «to create a boundary,» but this is really what we do when we define something: we limit its meaning to something specific. So when you’re thinking about the word define, remember that you’re looking to create a boundary of meaning around it, whether you’re specifying the meaning of a word or a larger concept. To define a word such as astronomy is to define both the word and the realm of science that it’s concerned with.
