lookup

A stylish command-line dictionary tool that fetches definitions, pronunciations, and examples.

This is a fork of dicta by electr1fy0 - thanks for the original implementation!

What's Different

• Simplified usage - just lookup <word> instead of dicta meaning <word>
• Glamorous output - styled with Lipgloss featuring colors, borders, and clean formatting
• Streamlined display - limits to 3 definitions per part of speech, deduplicates phonetics

Install

From source

git clone https://github.com/mkaz/lookup.git
cd lookup
go build -o lookup

Usage

lookup serendipity
lookup ephemeral
lookup hello

Output includes:

• Phonetic pronunciation
• Part of speech (noun, verb, etc.)
• Definitions with examples
• Synonyms and antonyms (when available)

Notes

• Requires an internet connection to fetch definitions.
• Data is sourced from api.dictionaryapi.dev.
