What is a simple definition of stock?

You may have heard it described as "shares of a company that the public can buy".

In other words, it's the amount of ownership in the company that you are free to buy.

The easiest definition is a word by word translation of the Latin for 'share' meaning "portion". A better definition is to use analogy: Imagine that you have some money that you need to invest in a way that earns returns and that can be sold when you want to get your money back. If I hold onto my money, I keep it for myself. I am the owner of the money, no one else. I have a greater claim to the money than anyone else.

If I invest the money in something, then I give the money to someone else (and I lose the money when they sell it). So, if you invest money in a company, you have a portion of the company and therefore a claim on its earnings. It is important to note that the money belongs to you and not the company. You have a claim on it (and it is a claim on earnings), but that claim does not change who owns it.
