The Bronsted-Lowry definition is: an acid is a substance which can act as a proton donor. By this definition, any compound which can easily be deprotonated can be considered an acid.

And its reverse is base..

A Lewis acid is a substance that can accept a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond.

The strength of an acid refers to its ability or tendency to lose a proton. Acids are substances which increase the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+), or more accurately, hydronium ions (H3O +) when dissolved in water.

For bases, the ability to gain a proton.
