Lexical definitions are related to the manner of using a word in a language, and they are considered as the most commonly used definitions of a word.

She believes that there is a connection between the language and the meaning and that a term could be misunderstood if simple language would be used.

According to the article by Charles S. Peirce, a clear idea can be defined as a concept that is so enclosed to the point where one can easily identify it when they come across it. If the concept does not meet this clarity, then it can be termed as obscure.
