# wordreference
A Node solution for retrieving wordreference translations

`wordreference` exports a singles function called `defineWord` which asynchronously returns a translation from wordreference.

### Example

```ts
import { defineWord } from "wordreference";

const definition = await defineWord("fish", "English-French");

```

#### Example Output:
```json
{
    "inputWord": "fish",
    "sections": [
        {
            "title": "Principales traductions",
            "translations": [
                {
                    "word": {
                        "word": "fish, plural: fish, fishes",
                        "pos": "n"
