Current definition of word is A word is the smallest free form (an item that may be expressed in isolation with semantic or pragmatic content) in a language.
It is not entirely clear to me what pragmatic content means. Words also do not necessarily have content, they can be purely functional, fulfil some syntactical purpose.
I suggest to replace it with: A single distinct meaningful element of speech or writing, used with others (or sometimes alone) to form a sentence and typically shown with a space on either side when written or printed.
