 * **Service**: [Free Dictionary API by DictionaryAPI.dev](https://dictionaryapi.dev/)
 * **Purpose**: To retrieve English word definitions for the tooltip display.
 * **What data is sent**: Only the selected word (e.g., “apple”) is sent to the 
   API when a user double-clicks a word on the page.
 * **When it’s sent**: On-demand, only when the user interacts with the page.
 * **What data is received**: A definition, example sentence, and pronunciation 
   info for the selected word.
 * **Personal data**: No personal or sensitive user data is sent or received.
 * **Note**: As of now, the API does not publish an official privacy policy or terms
   of service. Please use at your discretion.
