Please check what a definition means.

You seem to think if it's not explicitly in a dictionary, then it doesn't define a word. That's not how the real world works.

Yes, this is what I was trying to explain. It isn't printed right there in the dictionary because it isn't the formal definition. It's just how it ends up actually working.

There's countless other examples too, where the formal definition and what it means in the real world don't fully line up.
