How to merge two arrays into single array of objects?

Question

I'm trying to merge two arrays into one array consisting of objects created from the corresponding array items from the two original arrays:

Ex:

words = ['Toolbar', 'Vamoose', 'Arcade'];

clues = ['Strip of buttons', 'Get lost', 'Pinball wizards hangout'];

What I want:

output = [{'Toolbar', 'Strip of buttons'}, {'Vamoose', 'Get lost'}, {'Arcade', 'Pinball wizards hangout'}]

Any suggestions?

@ÉtienneMiret JavaScript. I've figured out how to combine the arrays into a single object but I want to create a single array consisting of multiple objects — Jeff Claybrook, Oct 24 '22 at 16:01
Please update your description of the question, that you need this to be done in JavaScript — Level_Up, Oct 24 '22 at 16:08

Figured it out:

let words = ['Toolbar', 'Vamoose', 'Arcade'];
let clues = ['Strip of buttons', 'Get lost', 'Pinball wizards hangout'];

let data = [];

words.forEach((obj, index) => {
  obj = {
    word: words[index],
    clue: clues[index]
  };
  data.push(obj)
})

console.log(data)
[{
    "word": "Toolbar",
    "clue": "Strip of buttons"
},
{
    "word": "Vamoose",
    "clue": "Get lost"
},
{
    "word": "Arcade",
    "clue": "Pinball wizards hangout"
}]
