Your Definition
A word used to describe a product, brand, or concept that is so strongly associated with its category that it defines it. Like Apple stands to smartphones, GAN stands to high-end Rubik’s cubes, or Windows stands to operating systems. An applysh is a dominant or pioneering brand that sets the standard for everything else in its field.
