Such an explanation normally consists of 'rules for use'. Or indirectly by giving synonyms who each have their own rules for use. I know of no rules for using my words. You know several rules for your words. Giving synonyms, describing some properties which are neither necessary nor sufficient, doesn't add up to rules in my book.
Most tables have four legs and a top.
Those words alone tell me nothing about use. The analogy is to a tool. But there is a serious disanalogy. If I use a hammer as a paper weight, it ain't a hammer. Are there rules for words, sentences, or propositions.
