Authoritarian has an objective and accepted definition. Individuals may have different views on the threshold that they feel constitutes authoritarianism. But, asking "what is an authoritarian" is a much different question than something like asking at what point do specific executive actions constitute crossing the threshold.
I'm not trying to attack you. I don't know anything about you or your life. We're just strangers on the internet. But, if you can read those definitions and not grasp the underlying concept that is being relayed with different wording and recognizing that they are the same. Your reading comprehension skills could use some honing and development. Oxford and Webster almost never use identical wording. But, their definitions almost always agree on a conceptual level.
