Hi @djmarcin,

We are having a bit of trouble reproducing this at the moment, its possible this was connected to some server side delays in the merrian-webster site, which would result in the missing content of the first definition. I did take the content you shared and added it to a text block in DAKboard to make sure the formatting wasn't being interpreted incorrectly as well to be sure.

We actually like this source after reviewing it for a potential option for our word of the day as well, so we will be putting a bit of extra focus looking at this and adding an issue for this. Once I create it I will link it here and I expect we can overcome any issues like this we may find or gather some extra examples if there are issues at the source content.

I will link that case here as soon as I have it made.
