    If you use DuckDuckGo, you can just type !wt wordyouwant. This takes you to the English Wiktionary entry (EDIT: I forgot to mention this language depends on your DDG locale), where Wiktionary is a (really rich and underappreciated) sister project to Wikipedia that acts as an every-language-to-English dictionary (or e.g. an every-language-to-French dictionary in the case of fr.wiktionary.org, etc.)
