A quick definition of definitions:

A definition is a way to explain what something means or what it is. It helps people understand the fundamental nature of something. Definitions are important in the law because they help resolve disagreements about what a word or phrase means in a contract, law, or court decision.

A more thorough explanation:

A definition is a statement that explains the meaning or essential nature of something. Definitions are important in the legal system because they help to clarify the meaning of words used in laws, contracts, and court decisions.

For example, if a law states that it is illegal to "drive a motor vehicle on a public road," the definition of "motor vehicle" and "public road" may be important in determining whether a person has violated the law. Similarly, in a contract, the definition of key terms such as "payment" or "delivery" can be critical in resolving disputes between parties.

Overall, definitions help to ensure that everyone involved in a legal matter understands the same meaning of important words and phrases, which is essential for the rule of law to function properly.
