Simple Definition

Exemplary: When something is exemplary, it means it is a really good example for others to follow. It can also mean that something is used as a warning to show what not to do. For example, if someone behaves really well, they can be described as having exemplary behavior. If someone gets in trouble and has to pay a lot of money as punishment, that is called exemplary damages. Exemplification is when a copy of an official record is made to use as evidence.
