Is there a reason you are not using the <K> keystroke with the
keywordprg setting?

:help keywordprg

*'keywordprg'* *'kp'*
'keywordprg' 'kp' string (default "man" or "man -s", DOS: ":help",
OS/2: "view /", VMS: "help")
global or local to buffer |global-local|
{not in Vi}
Program to use for the |K| command. Environment variables are
expanded |:set_env|. ":help" may be used to access the Vim internal
help. (Note that previously setting the global option to the empty
value did this, which is now deprecated.)
When "man" is used, Vim will automatically translate a count for the
"K" command to a section number. Also for "man -s", in which case the
"-s" is removed when there is no count.
See |option-backslash| about including spaces and backslashes.
Example:
:set keywordprg=man\ -s
This option cannot be set from a |modeline| or in the |sandbox|, for
security reasons.

I've installed the dictd server and dict client locally and use

set keywordprg=dict

Then typing K on a word gives me a definition.
