A genus–differentia definition is a way of defining a term by identifying its broader category (genus) and then specifying the characteristics that distinguish it from other members of that category (differentia). This method of definition is often used in philosophical, biological, and logical contexts to convey the essential nature of a concept or entity. The genus represents the larger group or class to which the term belongs, while the differentia highlights the unique features that set it apart from other members of that group.
