Word of the Day - Definiendum
A word a day is for play. Write a sentence, story or poem. Use the word in a comment. Let's explore this lovely language together.
definiendum
Pronunciation: /dɪˌfɪnɪˈɛndəm/
noun (plural definienda)
A word, phrase, or symbol which is the subject of a definition, especially in a dictionary entry, or which is introduced into a logical system by being defined. Contrasted with definiens.

I guess today’s definiendum is “definiendum” and that is that.
[In HTML code this is nicely defined:]
<dl> <!--set up the list-->
<dt>term to define</dt>
<dd>definition of the term</dd>
<dt>another definiendum</dt>
<dd>another definiens</dd>
</dl> <!--end the list-->
