I can’t seem to find a universal understanding or definition of what “capital” is can someone clear this up? Explain to a dummy lol ?

Is capital financial? Not financial? Is it anything that generates value for a company/person. If so, how do you define value and how do you define anything? Does anything mean machines, bank accounts, people, etc... its very confusing to me if a genius could clear this up I would much appreciate it
