fundamental nature or defining quality

The basic nature or special quality that makes something what it is.

الگوی کاربرد: the essence of [something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "essence" with "essential." "Essence" is a noun (the basic nature), while "essential" is usually an adjective (very important or necessary). For example, say "the essence of the story" (not *"the essential of the story").

surface (Suggests only the outward appearance, not the deep or true nature.) | detail (Refers to smaller, less important parts rather than the defining quality.)

main or basic point

The main and most basic point of an idea, plan, or message.

الگوی کاربرد: the essence of [something] is [clause/noun]

هم‌معنی‌ها
gist (Informal; focuses on the general idea rather than a precise core.) | crux (More formal; stresses the most difficult or critical point to understand or solve.) | main point (Very clear and informal; less abstract and shorter than "essence.")

concentrated liquid extract

A strong liquid made from something, often used to give food or drink a strong taste or smell.

الگوی کاربرد: [flavor] essence
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "essence" with "oil" (for example, "vanilla oil"). In cooking, both "vanilla essence" and "vanilla extract" are common; "essence" is often more common in British English.
هم‌معنی‌ها
extract (Very close in meaning; slightly more common in some varieties of English, especially for flavoring.) | concentrate (Stresses that the liquid is very strong; often used for juices and chemicals as well.)
متضادها
