"A chair is something you cdn sit upon." But that, too, seems inadequate: it makes it seem as though a chair were as insubstantial as a wish. The solution is that we need to combine at least two different kinds of descriptions. On one side, we need structural descriptions for recognizing chairs when we see them. On the other side we need functional descriptions in order to know what we can do with chairs. We can capture more of what we mean by interweaving both ideas. But it's not enough merely to propose a vague association, because in order for it to have some use, we need more intimate detiils about how those chair parts actually help a person to sit.
