Event, term through which one designates the beginning, end, or some other remarkable circumstance determined within the duration of all things contingent. But perhaps this term is one of the roots of language and serves to define other terms while not being definable itself? See the article Dictionary. See also, in the article Encyclopedia, the way to fix the sense of fundamental terms.
