"A solution with as much dissolved solute as it can hold at a given temperature."

Explanation: At saturation the rate of dissolving equals the rate of precipitation (dynamic equilibrium). Adding more solute will not dissolve (it will precipitate) unless temperature is raised to increase solubility.
