Dictionary entries
Retrieve dictionary information for a given word
Use this to retrieve definitions, pronunciations, example sentences, grammatical information and word origins. It only works for dictionary headwords, so you may need to use the Lemmatron first if your input is likely to be an inflected form (e.g., 'swimming'). This would return the linked headword (e.g., 'swim') which you can then use in the Entries endpoint. Unless specified using a region filter, the default lookup will be the Oxford Dictionary of English (GB).
