This is incorrect, it’s the strength it comes out the cask. How else would you explain the the vast array of single malt whiskies that are cask strength and aged anything from 10 to 30 years (e.g., https://www.connosr.com/glenmorangie-cask-strength-10-year-o...).

Bottled at 40% is because they watered it down.

Could there be two definitions I wonder? I might just be wrong, but I'm basing what I wrote above on a clear whiskey that I tried at a whiskey tasting, that was referred to as cask strength, with the explanation I gave above.

No. A very quick google can confirm for you the definition of cask strength.
