Why did God use the word "good" to describe what He created each day of Creation? What does the word "good" mean in this context?

Why did God use the word "good" to describe what He had created each day of Creation?  I'm hoping you can provide a "working" definition of the word that will apply to the majority of the uses of it in the Scriptures.  I have an idea but I would like to hear what you think.  I have a high regard for your careful, thoughtful and well studied answers. 

Genesis 1:1 - 31

NASB - ¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
