As pervasive as our concept of 'problem' is, there is surprisingly little literature published about *what*, exactly, it is to have a problem. Maybe it is such a simple and intuitive concept that it needs nothing more than the dictionary entries that already exist. According to Merriam-Webster, 'problem' is defined as "something that is difficult to deal with: something that is a source of trouble, worry, etc". This definition is based on the ancient Greek word *problema*, which means "anything thrown forward, hindrance, obstacle, anything projecting, a headland, promontory" (wiktionary).
