Note
A regular -s plural that belongs only to the countable uses of the noun: separate statements of meaning, rival formulations of something's essential nature, the products of defining. The uncountable use, meaning the act or process of defining, takes no plural. So definitions always points to statements that can be compared side by side, never to the activity itself.
