 Expanded
definition of words
EXPANDED DEFINITION OF WORDS
• It is an explanation of the meaning
of a certain word or phrase.
• It is distinguishing the
characteristics of a certain word,
providing extra facts or information
about it, giving examples, and saying
what cannot be include to describe it.
Techniques of
Expanding
Definition
1.Etymology – explains the
origin of the word itself.

Ex: Arbitration comes from

the Latin judicium which
means judgment.
2.History – discusses the history of
the term/its use/controversies
associated with it.

Ex: The use of arbitration as third-

party mediation dates from the
1630s.
3.Cause and Effect – to explain the
causes and effects of the term.

Ex: An arbitration clause is considered

to be ambiguous when the parties do
not express clearly, that in case of
conflict, the method to use to settle
the disagreements will be arbitration.
4.Description – listing and defining
the component parts, (explain the
color, size, and shape.)

Ex: Arbitration is the process of

solving an argument between people
by helping them to agree to an
acceptable solution.
5.Principles of Operation – discussing
how topic in question functions,
including any special materials or
conditions required.

Ex: Arbitration is conducted by a

trained arbiter who sets down the
rules that the parties must abide by.
6. Classification – showing how
the topic fits into a larger
category.

Ex: Arbitration is one of the

alternatives to going into a
formal court to settle disputes.
7. Analogy – explaining by
comparing two dissimilar topics,
where the second is familiar to the
audience.

Ex: An arbiter is like a referee-he or

she listens to both side and decides
as to who is at fault, without the
intervention of outside parties.
8.Examples- to tell a story or
example that illustrates the
term.

Ex: Arbitration was used to

settle the dispute between the
labor union and management.
9. Illustrations to provide a picture or
image that is used to clarify a text

Ex. ARBITRATION
10. Comparison/ Contrast- to show how
the topic is similar or different from
others in the class.

Ex: The main difference between

arbitration and litigation law is that the
court is involved in the case of
litigation, as it is a lawsuit, whereas, in
arbitration, a settlement between the
parties is done outside of court.
Ways on How to Expand a
Definition Into a Paragraph

1. Expanding By Giving An
Example.
2. Expanding By Comparing and
Contrasting.
3. Expanding By Giving A Process.
