I thought so too, but go to the index and look up Portable Appliances and it says see Appliances. Go to Appliances and it says Portable definition 550.2, 551.2. It also lists Stationary as 550.2, 551.2.
read the scope at the beginning of article 100
ARTICLE 100 Definitions
Scope. This article contains only those definitions essential to the proper application of this Code. It is not intended to include commonly defined general terms or commonly defined technical terms from related codes and standards. In general, only those terms that are used in two or more articles are defined in Article 100. Other definitions are included in the article in which they are used but may be referenced in Article 100.
Any definitions in 550 and 551 only apply to 550 and 551. If there is no definition in the section that applies or in article 100 then you need to go to a dictionary if you don't know what the definition of a word is.
It then gives you a list of appliances that are considered portable.
That list is part of a fine print note which is not an enforceable requirement of the code. see 90.5(C)
