The quickest and easiest wayb of asking for more information about a word is just to say,
"What does that mean?"
You may prefer ask for the meaning 'to be explained.'
"Could you please explain the meaning of (OO)?"
Asking for a synonym is another alternative. Some words are extremely difficult to define but you may know one of the synonyms the teacher thinks of.
