Defining Archetypes

An archetype is a generic, idealized model of a person, object, or concept from which similar instances are derived, copied, patterned, or emulated (wiki).

For example, an archetype for a car: wheels, doors, seats, engine

In software engineering, an archetype can be a number of major components to describe what we want to build.
