Bonus: automatically copy to clipboad:

(() => {
  const terms = document.getElementsByClassName('SetPageTerms-term');

  Array.from(terms).forEach((term) => {
    const termTexts = term.querySelectorAll('.TermText');
    const word = termTexts[0].textContent.replace(/[\n\r]+/g, '/');
    const def = termTexts[1].textContent.replace(/[\n\r]+/g, '/');
    
    csv.push(`"${word}","${def}"`);
  });

    // Create a temporary textarea element to copy the CSV text
  const textarea = document.createElement('textarea');
  textarea.value = csv.join('\n');
  document.body.appendChild(textarea);
  textarea.select();
  document.execCommand('copy');
  document.body.removeChild(textarea);

  console.log('CSV text copied to clipboard');
})();

Replace SetPageTerms-term with SetPageTermsList-term to make those work
