Certainly we wouldn't say, travel is never used in the definition of traveling, therefore that definition is not accurate.

Your definition would be similiar to saying the definition of washing is to wash clothes. That's not how definitions are written. You don't include the word or a form of the word in the definition of the word.
Intent has nothing to do with an intentional foul. Perhaps the NFHS needs to change the call to a Flagrant 1 or something.
