Comment on How do you call a word that is so rudimentary that it can't be defined without being redundant?

I think you can always define a word using other words, without repeating the word in question. Just sometimes you have to take a pretty wide circle and the explanation can end up complicated

Are there any words that dont have synonyms?

Good question. Even “stipulation” has “proviso.”

These, either, neither
All can be explained but the explanation is certainly more complicated than simply understanding the word(s)
