So what is inflation?

Inflation is a decline in the monetary standard, according to Robert Mundell.

By this definition, inflation is not measured by rising price indices, nor is deflation measured by falling price indices.

The central function of money was as a standard unit of account. The decline in a standard reflects not its rise or fall in value but its deteriorating stability, credibility, and constancy.
