The difference between characteristic, feature, aspect, attribute and quality, their definitions are defined using each other

Question

It's annoying the Dictionary always happens to me this absurdity:

Characteristic - distinguishing feature or quality

Feature - a distinctive attribute or aspect of something

Attribute - regard a quality or feature as a characteristic of or possessed by, quality or feature regarded as a characteristic or inherent part of someone or something

Quality - distinctive attribute or characteristic possessed by

For a partly ignorant on the English Lexicon person if you do not know these words it's going to be challenging to know their meaning and more their differences because they are defined using each other, what should I do?

Answer 1

Those are all very similar, and to master the differences takes time and experience. Just in case it helps, here are some words that share their roots:

characterize, character, inspect, spectacles, spectator, speculate, contribute, distribute, tributary, tribute, qualia, qualify, equal

Importantly, though, be aware that "feature" and "attribute" have other meanings when used as verbs. The verb meanings are closely related to their noun forms. "Attribute" is pronounced differently when used as a verb - as a noun, the first syllable is emphasized. As a verb, the second syllable is emphasized.

Answer 2

Pablo, aren't these almost identical in Spanish?

Quality - cualidad
Attribute - atributo
Characteristic - característica
Feature - facción (característica)
