signified

n. meaning of a word; meaning of an expression; thing or idea marked by a sign; meaning passed along by the signifier

v. represent, indicate; communicate, express, convey; have importance, have significance

In semiotics, a sign is "something that stands for something else, to someone in some capacity". It may be understood as a discrete unit of meaning, and includes words, images, gestures, scents, tastes, textures, sounds – essentially all of the ways in which  information can be communicated as a message by any sentient, reasoning mind to another.
