What is soliton

I am new to this word.. This is not research level problem and it is soft question in nature. Just for curiosity, i am asking..

In literature, i am finding following words:(Wikipedia+ others).

Soliton is a self-reinforcing solitary wave

Solition is a phenomenon.

Solition is a property

Solitonic solution

As wikipedia also says, single definition is difficult to find. Can somebody explain this term according to you... It will be better if you give the idea of Soliton more mathematically rather only intuitively.

More precisely my question is WHAT IS SOLITON.
