The best definition of story points is that they represent the effort to develop a user story or product backlog item.
Effort is a question of time: how long it will take to finish something. Many factors go into determining effort, including
The amount of work to do
The complexity of the work
Any risk or uncertainty in doing the work
When estimating with story points, many things come into play: complexity, effort, risk, and volume. But ultimately, story points are an estimate of effort.
