The number of times that the variable occurs as a factor in the monomial.
In other words, the exponent of the variable, e.g., x² - x + 6 is 2nd degree.

It can have any degree. For example, 4x7 is of degree 7.
The Degree (for a polynomial with one variable) is the largest exponent of that variable.
By definition, a monomial has only one unknown independent variable, usually represented by a letter of the alphabet. The exponent immediately after that symbol for the unknown is the degree of the monomial.
That would be a pure number, without a variable.
