With the code below (a tiny snippet from a book) the example quotation for the word Agerasia starts on the same line with the word itself. I don't think the result makes a clear enough distinction between the main text and the quote. I thought of starting on a new line but \ gives an error "there is no line to end".

    Although many people go to extreme lengths to appear young, some are blessed with agerasia.

  \item[Frequency]
  Ngram viewer found no uses until 1953; now it's very rare indeed, about 1 in 6.5 billion words and the OED notes that it is ``chiefly in dictionaries''.
