Read a random definition: affectus sine effectu

A quick definition of lexical definition:

A lexical definition is a way of explaining what a word means. It can be found in things like contracts, laws, or dictionaries. It tells you exactly what a word means in that specific context. Sometimes, a definition might be made up just for that document to make sure everyone understands what is being talked about.

A more thorough explanation:

A lexical definition is a dictionary-style definition of a word that aims to provide a complete understanding of the term. It is explicitly stated in a written document such as a contract, a corporate bylaw, an ordinance, or a statute. This type of definition is also known as a definiens.

  • Contract: In a contract, the term "delivery" may be lexically defined as the transfer of goods from the seller to the buyer.
  • Statute: In a statute, the term "vehicle" may be lexically defined as any device that can be used for transportation on land, such as cars, trucks, and bicycles.

These examples illustrate how a lexical definition can be used to clarify the meaning of a term in a legal document. By providing a clear and concise definition, it helps to avoid confusion and disputes that may arise due to different interpretations of the term.
