Feature request

Colorized output.

Why

Colourized output would make skimming definitions easier.

Problem

A word that returns many results can produce a "wall of text" output which is visually hard to dissect. This sprawl of text can be hard enough to read on a large screen, let alone scrolling an 80x24 terminal.

Solution

Colourize output sections based on information type. E.g. different colours for word, pronunciation, definition, grammar category, orgin, etc.

Justification

Colourized output adds semantic meaning and creates visual distinction between sections, allowing users to visually navigate results faster.

Subjective

Some users may consider colourized output more aesthetically pleasing than black and white.

This is a great idea. I didn't consider it before, because it seemed unnecessary, but I'm a huge fan of colorized output, myself. I'll look into this! Thanks! 😃
