I think axiom should fit, but according to its official definition, an axiom is a statement that is taken to be true, and as far as I know, a word can’t make an statement by its own.

    I certainly can’t imagine a word I couldn’t define. Some words are defined by their interrelationship, and that can seem circular… but since that interrelationship is how we make sense of the world, I don’t particularly see the problem. There’s nothing fundamental about that.
