in The 2nd Monitor on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, yesterday, by Quill

Verb: define ‎(third-person singular simple present defines, present participle defining, simple past and past participle defined)

To determine with precision; to mark out with distinctness; to ascertain or exhibit clearly.
Sir Isaac Newton
Rings […] very distinct and well defined.
the defining power of an optical instrument‎
(obsolete) To settle, decide (an argument etc.). [16th-17th c.]

(19 more not shown…)

Noun: define ‎(plural defines)

(computing, programming) A kind of macro in source code that replaces one text string with another wherever it occurs.
1996, James Gosling, Henry McGilton, The Java Language Environment
From the computer programming perspective, Java looks like C and C++ while discarding the overwhelming complexities of those languages, such as typedefs, defines, preprocessor, unions, pointers, and multiple inheritance.
1999, Ian Joyner, Objects unencapsulated: Java, Eiffel, and C++ (page 309)
Anyone who has attempted to do OO programming in a conventional language using defines will find out that it is impossible to realize the benefits easily, if at all, without compiler support.

recursive

Adjective: recursive ‎(comparative more recursive, superlative most recursive)

drawing upon itself, referring back.
The recursive nature of stories which borrow from each other
(mathematics, not comparable) of an expression, each term of which is determined by applying a formula to preceding terms
(computing, not comparable) of a program or function that calls itself
(computing theory, not comparable, of a function) which can be computed by a theoretical model of a computer, in a finite amount of time

A small wearable device was released alongside the game, called the Pokémon Go Plus. The device uses a Bluetooth connection to notify users when a Pokémon is nearby with an LED and a light rumble, and is sold separately from the app. == Gameplay == Different Pokémon live in different areas of the...
