Correct. It takes on a sense of being something stated by an official, an authority, an expert.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I assume that if you want a "formal" definition, you will look in a dictionary, not ask on a forum. See the link below for a dictionary definition. Note especially the first two definitions given there.
