sdcv

$ sdcv --data-dir ${path-to-directory} ${search_term}

try on your machine

The given command sdcv --data-dir ${path-to-directory} ${search_term} is used to lookup word definitions using an application called sdcv (StarDict Command Line Version).

Here's the breakdown of the command:

sdcv is the command to invoke the sdcv application.
--data-dir ${path-to-directory} specifies the data directory for the dictionaries to be searched. ${path-to-directory} represents the actual path where the dictionaries are stored. You should replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path on your system.
${search_term} is the word or term you want to search for in the dictionaries.

By executing this command with the specified data directory and search term, the sdcv application will provide the definition or meaning of the word in the dictionaries located in the specified data directory.
