definition
When referring to a dictionary meaning, 'definition' is a countable noun. You can have one definition or several definitions for a single word. In the context of technology (like screens or audio), it often refers to quality. You will frequently see it in compound terms like 'high-definition' (HD). When used to describe physical shapes, such as muscles, it means how clearly those shapes can be seen.

Victoria is demanding a precise meaning (definition) to strip away David's corporate jargon. David responds using 'circling back,' a common corporate phrasal verb used here as a stalling tactic to avoid admitting he doesn't know the answer.
