Some definitions, sure. Not all of them. Not lawlessness and chaos, which is how it’s normally portrayed in the media. Ordered liberty without hierarchy is what it is.
The Wikipedia page seems to be generally correct. It’s a pretty broad political spectrum though with a reasonably long history. Some anarchists disagree with each other (as people in any group do) so there isn’t a perfect definition. The synopsis of the wiki is probably as good as you’ll get without reading the literature. Proudhon is probably the most famous anarchist, if you want to read up on his works.
You mean what the dictionary says it is?

Can you direct me to the “correct” definition?

Your definition doesn’t sound like something with lots of rules…
You mean the thing that establishes a common understanding of the meaning of words? Seems pretty important to me 🤷

You’re correct. The encyclopedia would be the wrong resource for this type of discussion.
