2Yet another dictionary question... What is it about "philosophy" that promotes such overthinking on mundane topics?– Michael HallCommented yesterday

1The title of this post may be rather badly chosen. The post seems to me obviously not about dictionary definitions. The formulation of the whole post makes it rather hard to for me to understand what the OP finds problematic, though, or what the main question is (the title? the last line?). But I'm going to undo the re-tagging by Lowrie and Mauro, since Cartesianism is clearly relevant and the topic of definitions seems not relevant.– mudskipperCommented yesterday

3Given 3 VTCs, I've modified the text to highlight that this is not a question of grammatical relationships between verbs and nouns. Feel free to continue to modify or roll back.– J DCommented yesterday

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. philosophy-of-science), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
