If you see the error message Error while retrieving definition when looking up a definition from any of the selected dictionaries, the problem is more likely one of the following:
One or more of the selected DICT servers that are used to look up definitions may not be working. You can try waiting a while before looking up the definition again.
You may not have a working Internet connection. For Dictionary to look up terms, your computer must be able to connect to dict.org.
