What is Plagiarism?

According to University of Oxford
Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement.source

In my own understanding, Plagiarism is the act of presenting an author's content, idea or work as one's own, without recognising the Author.
