Words in the English language are not the same as computer code. I'm not sure you can fully define most words in terms of other words -- hence the variety. Dictionaries generally only provide rough sketches of the meaning of a word. Even synonyms can have slightly different subtexts, connotations, and histories. Hell, individual words have wildly different meanings depending on context.
