In Medicine
In medical dictionaries, definitions should to the greatest extent possible be:
- simple and easy to understand, preferably even by the general public;
- useful clinically or in related areas where the definition will be used;
- specific, that is, by reading the definition only, it should ideally not be possible to refer to any other entity than the definiendum;
- measurable;
- reflecting current scientific knowledge.
