There was no free Dictionary API on the web when I wanted one for my friend, so I created one.

Addition of etymology #75

Open NamrathaG opened 3 years ago

NamrathaG commented 3 years ago

Is it possible to add the etymology of a word, at least for the English language?

I see that we extract the origin here https://github.com/meetDeveloper/googleDictionaryAPI/blob/master/modules/dictionary.js#L83, but I can't find it in the API response.

An example of what I was trying: https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/invigorate

There is also a graph for etymology. Providing a link to that image (similar to the pronunciation) would be helpful. I gather there is also a text description as @NamrathaG mentioned.
