It depends on the context assumed about the audience that is supposed to understand the definitions. Do they have the experiences relevant to the word being defined? If not, what experiences do they have in common with the person providing the definition? How intelligent are they? Can they understand complex concepts through logic, through examples or both? How much do they know about English (besides the few words assumed known)?
