A circular definition is a type of definition in which the term being defined is included in the definition itself, often in a way that does not provide any clear or additional understanding of the term. Essentially, it leads back to the original term without offering new information or a clearer explanation. For example, defining "a brother" as "a male sibling" is not circular, as it provides clarification about the term.
