I'm taking a class on music/audio. Doing a presentation on the properties of sound and am having troubles with "timbre."

I'm looking for a very clear definition as to what timbre is. I have a general idea, but when I find myself explaining it, it's very sloppy and I'm not entirely sure if it's correct. From what I understand, timbre is basically a collection of frequencies that represent a given sound. For example, you pluck a string on a guitar and it does not omit one frequency, it omits a full timbre of sound.
