definition
📖 definición = de- (completely) + fin (end/limit): sets the end limits of a word
From Latin definire, 'to set limits': de- (completely) + finis (boundary, end). A definición marks where a word's meaning starts and stops. Same idea for visual definition: sharply bounded edges. Compare English define, finish, final.
