set out = defined, described, explained [in detail] – FumbleFingers Reinstate Monica Oct 12 '19 at 16:49
The expression "set out" has a number of definitions, but the relevant definition in this context is:

What do you mean you paraphrased the Collins definition? What was the actual definition? You really need to provide an exact quote—and then give your own interpretation if you think it's wrong in some way. Also, Merriam-Webster most certainly does have definitions for the verb set out. The way you've presented your answer simply makes it appear as if you don't like any actual dictionary definitions and are providing your own—but also vaguely pointing to references to others to give your personal opinion an appearance of authority. – Jason Bassford Supports Monica Oct 14 '19 at 7:18

@JasonBassford Sorry my answer made you assume I don't like dictionaries. Your reply, in the face of the "be nice to new users" alert, makes me think you are threatened by new users. Anyway, I've updated it to include a full quote. – Frank Townend Oct 14 '19 at 8:15

That's much better, and the actual link is also good. +1 with those changes; this is the kind of thing we look for. ;) – Jason Bassford Supports Monica Oct 14 '19 at 13:12
