Newton's Second Law is not the definition of force. Force is a push or pull, to put it simply.

Newton states that a force is proportional to the mass and the acceleration of the mass. F=ma.

In other words, it is in a way similar to a "measurement of a force" that a mass exerts on something if it is accelerating. Yet it explains a deep concept that explores the proportionality or relationship between the three variables, force, mass and acceleration.
