I was wondering if Emacs could do dictionary look-ups.

After failed search through the manual (for "dictionary") I resorted to
a web search.  It quickly showed that Emacs has included dictionary.el
since version 28 or so.

Why this extremely useful feature is not mentioned in the manual at all?
Or did I just miss it somehow?

Hello Petteri,

Now that I realize I've been using dictionary in Emacs for years and thinking that I learnt about it from the manual when I actually got it from one of the blogposts I think.

I agree. It is crucial to include documentation about dictionary, I'd be willing to be of help if needed.
