a small cli tool that uses merriam-webster API to get the meaning of a word. this tool doesn't scrape, it uses API so you'll need your own API key to work, it's fairly easy to get one.
go to (dictionaryapi.com)[https://dictionaryapi.com/register/index]
fill in the basic information you need, here Request API key (1) will be Collegiage Dictionary. (2) can
be anything we just need (1).
And after that you should receive your KEY. export it like
export DICTIONARY_KEY="1234-1234-1234-etc"
or set in your .bashrc or .zshrc etc.
if you have cargo installed, just run
cargo install --git https://github.com/fosslife/define

cargo install --path .
