Definition of Set: In modern mathematics, set theory (especially following the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms) is taken as the foundation for mathematics. With this foundation, "everything" is considered to be a set. Every number, function, triangle,etc., can be viewed as a set.
The word set is "primitive"; it is not defined in terms of other words.
