For others looking at this question, you may want to consider my new project: https://github.com/mufeed20/pydict
It may just be what you are looking for but its in alpha. If possible, consider contributing.
Run 'pydict.py' in SFPD. This does not need you to install additional applications other than Python 3, dictd, dict-wn and python-gobject.

You can't find in among the applications, because dictd in itself is a console application, you have to use a frontend application for it, e.g. opendict or goldendict.

In console, you would simple just write dict [options] word. You can look up the options at the man page of dict.

What I did not cover in this answer is the installation of a dictionary to the dictd database. As I have not used the software personally, I cannot provide a solution for this, but you may surely find guides for it on the internet.
