(1) That is already what analytical truth means:
"Analytic propositions are true or not true solely by virtue of their
meaning"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic%E2%80%93synthetic_distinction

(2) A stipulative definition is a type of definition in which a new or
currently existing term is given a new specific meaning for the purposes
of argument or discussion in a given context. ...
Because of this, a stipulative definition cannot be "correct" or
"incorrect"; it can only differ from other definitions...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stipulative_definition

The above is the ultimate foundation of truth.
