### MORE OPTIONS :)

# Show first definition for each part of speech (thanks @morgengabe1 on youtube)
# def=$(echo "$query" | jq -r '.[0].meanings[] | "\(.partOfSpeech): \(.definitions[0].definition)\n"')

# Show all definitions
# def=$(echo "$query" | jq -r '.[].meanings[] | "\n\(.partOfSpeech). \(.definitions[].definition)"')

# Regex + grep for just definition, if anyone prefers that to jq
# def=$(grep -Po '"definition":"\K(.*?)(?=")' <<< "$query")

# bold=$(tput bold) # Print text bold with echo, for visual clarity
# normal=$(tput sgr0) # Reset text to normal
# echo "${bold}Definition of $word"
# echo "${normal}$def"
