From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   NP-hard
  
      A set or property of computational {search
      problem}s.   A problem is NP-hard if solving it in {polynomial
      time} would make it possible to solve all problems in class
      {NP} in polynomial time.
  
      Some NP-hard problems are also in {NP} (these are called
      "{NP-complete}"), some are not.   If you could reduce an {NP}
      problem to an NP-hard problem and then solve it in polynomial
      time, you could solve all NP problems.
  
      See also {computational complexity}.
