Expanded Definition or Extended Definition

An expanded definition:
➢ defines and explains a single term, concept, or object;

➢ pins down the meaning of a specific word, or defines an abstract

concept; and
➢ goes deeper than a simple dictionary meaning.
There are two ways of expanding the definition of words.
1. Expanding the definition of words into a sentence
In expanding the definition of a word into a sentence, one must follow the
pattern below.
Word/s + Class + Distinguishing Characteristics
Sample Definition:
(Speed )is the (rate )(at which someone or something is able to move.)

Word Class Distinguishing Characteristics

2. Expanding the definition of words into a paragraph
There are three ways in expanding a definition into a paragraph, to wit:
a. Expanding by giving examples
In this way, the definition is expanded by enumerating or citing examples
of how the word is used. In the sample paragraph below, take note of
how each example is added in the paragraph to expand the definition of
the word speed.

Sample Definition:
Speed is a concept
that marks our time.
