<sudo apt-get install dictd>
dictionary server

This package provides a TCP-based server that allows a client to access
dictionary definitions from a set of natural language dictionary
databases.

Many dictionary databases have been packaged for use with dictd. They
are described in the /usr/share/doc/dictd/README.Debian.gz file.

Either dict-gcide or dict-wn is essential for a useful English
language dictionary server.  It is strongly recommended that both be
installed.  If you are interested in computer terminology, it is
recommended to install at least dict-jargon, dict-foldoc, or
dict-vera.

The client program, dict, is packaged separately and is needed on all
machines that will use the server.

Canonical provides critical updates for dictd until April 2012.
