The output should be similar to that of synonyms_crawler above, except for the fact that level 0’s value will be the starting word alone, rather than a list with the starting word.

In other words:

{
       0: 'adumbrate',
       1: [adumbrate's synonyms],
       2: [synonyms of adumbrate's synonyms],
       .....
