A concept is an abstract idea or a mental symbol, typically associated with a corresponding representation in and language or symbology. It is something understood, and retained in the mind, from experience, reasoning and/or imagination; a generalization (generic, basic form), or abstraction (mental impression), of a particular set of instances or occurrences (specific, though different, recorded manifestations of the concept).
