Definition is an entirely artificial construct and doesn't equate to meaning. Definition depends on other words that you also have to understand.

You are thinking of the literal definition - that "made of literal letters".

Mental definition is that "«artificial»" (out of the internal processing) construct made of relations that reconstructs a meaning. Such ontology is logical - "this is that". (It would not be made of memories, which are processed, deconstructed.)

Concepts are internally refined: their "implicit" definition (a posterior reading of the corresponding mental low-level) is refined.
