i see lot of definitions, But i am not sure we have one outlined by scrum.org. Do we have one? If so, can someone brief with a real time example. 

P.S I have been in scrum of scrum calls. scrum masters of all scrum teams under that Vertical Manager meets weekly. another client had this like scrum masters in a nexus( several scrum teams working on same product) attend scrum of scrum as a daily call. Yeah that should be called as Nexus daily scrum not scrum of scrum, so what is the definition?

Scrum of Scrums is an overloaded term and I don't believe there's a formal definition.

Gunther Verheyen's recent article may help:

"Within the Sprint, work is often synchronized via a Scrum-of-Scrums, a Daily Scrum across the teams, enabling the teams to replan their work based on the other teams' progress."

The Nexus Daily Scrum is about the right people attending, not just the Scrum Masters.  The point is to bring the people who are doing the work, rather than receiving and sharing information second-hand.
