# Description

We implemented a simple tool for accessing the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary API (https://dictionaryapi.com/products/api-collegiate-dictionary).

Here's a simple usage example:

```py
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.agents import load_tools, initialize_agent, AgentType

llm = OpenAI()
tools = load_tools(["serpapi", "merriam-webster"], llm=llm) # Serp API gives our agent access to Google
agent = initialize_agent(
  tools, llm, agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION, verbose=True
)
agent.run("What is the english word for the german word Himbeere? Define that word.")
```

Sample output:

```
> Entering new AgentExecutor chain...
 I need to find the english word for Himbeere and then get the definition of that word.
Action: Search
Action Input: "English word for Himbeere"
Observation: {'type': 'translation_result'}
Thought: Now I have the english word, I can look up the definition.
Action: MerriamWebster
Action Input: raspberry
Observation: Definitions of 'raspberry':

1. rasp-ber-ry, noun: any of various usually black or red edible berries that are aggregate fruits consisting of numerous small drupes on a fleshy receptacle and that are usually rounder and smaller than the closely related blackberries
2. rasp-ber-ry, noun: a perennial plant (genus Rubus) of the rose family that bears raspberries
3. rasp-ber-ry, noun: a sound of contempt made by protruding the tongue between the lips and expelling air forcibly to produce a vibration; broadly : an expression of disapproval or contempt
4. black raspberry, noun: a raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) of eastern North America that has a purplish-black fruit and is the source of several cultivated varieties —called also blackcap

Thought: I now know the final answer.
Final Answer: Raspberry is an english word for Himbeere and it is defined as any of various usually black or red edible berries that are aggregate fruits consisting of numerous small drupes on a fleshy receptacle and that are usually rounder and smaller than the closely related blackberries.
