Syn : {
Definition }, {
Explanation }, {
Description }.
Usage :
A definition is designed to settle a thing in its compass and extent ;
an explanation is intended to remove some obscurity or misunderstanding ,
and is therefore more extended and minute ;
a description enters into striking particulars with a view to interest or impress by graphic effect .
It is not therefore true ,
though often said ,
that description is only an extended definition . "
Logicians distinguish definitions into essential and accidental .
An essential definition states what are regarded as the constituent parts of the essence of that which is to be defined ;
and an accidental definition lays down what are regarded as circumstances belonging to it ,
viz .,
properties or accidents ,
such as causes ,
effects ,
etc ." --
Whately .
