An idea to define 'Meaning' -

Meaning of a word is how it relates other words to each other, with those other words taken in a general sense.

For example, what is the meaning of a table? It is how it relates 'four vertical legs' and 'a top flat surface' to each other. The meaning of the 'table' lies in this relationship.

 

Let me explain this in an even stronger and simpler way. What is the meaning of a hyphen ('-')? As in, when we say : The golden rule - "leave it", (this is in the context of Psychological tricks/tips to counter your problems/stress etc., what does the '-' mean? It means that 'leave it' IS THE 'golden rule'. What have I done here? In defining or explaining the meaning of '-', I have related, I have expressed the relationship between, 2 other things ('the golden rule' and 'leave it'). And also, this is to be done in a general sense i.e. we should say "when there is 'X -Y' the '-' means that Y IS X". Similarly, the word 'go' means the relationship between 'something (some entity/concept)' and 'displacement away' with that relationship being that 'that something's displacement away'.
