Word for a word

Describe the taste of water.

And since a lot of things taste like chicken, describe the taste of chicken.

There are those days when I think (yes, it’s true) about things and I wondered what it would be like to only have one word to describe them. The same could be said about experiences such as describing the difference of being wet with water compared to being wet with essential oils. We seldom think about ourselves using one or more words to describe another word, yet that is really what takes place in almost every description. Then we confuse ourselves using words that have more than one meaning. Or description. It is almost never as easy as black and white. And both of those words can be either a noun, verb or adjective depending on how they are used. As if that wasn’t enough, we invented slang to further add to the confusion. It’s as though we have developed languages inside languages. Does it seem like translating one language into another is would be easier than understanding the first language? After all, that’s only a word for a word.
