👉 The term "melioristic definition" is a fun and quirky way to describe how one might think about understanding and applying definitions.
Imagine you're trying to solve a puzzle, but every time you try, the instructions get more complicated. You keep getting stuck, not knowing what you need to do next. Now, imagine that you have a big jar with an opening in it that you can't open. The jar is filled with jelly and candy, so you can just pick out small pieces of candy from inside or pop some jelly out. That's the "melioristic definition"! So instead of trying to solve every problem by starting over in a new, complicated way, you might just say "I'm sorry, I don't know what to do next," and then take another look at your jar to see if it's clear where the jelly is. That might be the funniest way to approach solving problems!
