A definition is a statement of the meaning of a term (a word, phrase, or other set of symbols).

Definitions can be classified into two large categories, intensional definitions (which try to give the essence of a term) and extensional definitions (which proceed by listing the objects that a term describes).

Another important category of definitions is the class of ostensive definitions, which convey the meaning of a term by pointing out examples.

A term may have many different senses and multiple meanings, and thus require multiple definitions.

A narrative technique, also known, more narrowly for literary fictional narratives, as a literary technique, literary device, or fictional device, is any of several specific methods the creator of a narrative uses to convey what they want—in other words, a strategy used in the making of a narrative to relay information to the audience and, particularly, to "develop" the narrative, usually in order to make it more complete, complicated, or interesting.

Literary techniques are distinguished from literary elements, which exist inherently in works of writing.

In mathematics, an element, or member, of a set is any one of the distinct objects that make up that set.

An enumeration is a complete, ordered listing of all the items in a collection.

The term is commonly used in mathematics and computer science to refer to a listing of all of the elements of a set.

The precise requirements for an enumeration (for example, whether the set must be finite, or whether the list is allowed to contain repetitions) depend on the discipline of study and the context of a given problem.
