What exactly is the definition of the pope?

Tara, would you mind clarifying your question?
Are you asking for the language derivation (etymology) of the word, "pope"?
Or are you asking for a simple dictionary definition of the word?
Or are you asking what a pope's duties/responsibilities are?
Or are you asking how the Church came to have a pope?
Thanks. JFG
