Meanings
-
That which is not a definition, or fails to define properly.
The feminists were so assertive as to conceive, announce, and establish a new definition of woman and, somewhat incidentally, of man. The new definitions were in a sense nondefinitions — no more than possible identities — so as to help create the new gender-neutral society.
