Use this to retrieve definitions, pronunciations [blocked], example sentences, grammatical information [blocked] and word origins [blocked]. It only works for dictionary headwords [blocked], so you may need to use the Lemmatron [blocked] first if your input is likely to be an inflected [blocked] form (e.g., 'swimming'). This would return the linked headword [blocked] (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).
