Just start an Emacs and type C-h f (that is "describe function"). The
minubuffer asks you for a function name, you type in 'define-abbrev'
(without the quotes), then ENTER.
Alternatively, via the menu: Help -> Describe... -> Describe Function...
This will lead you to the function's documentation string.
