look up a word in Dictionary.app in Terminal Is there a bash or applescript to look up a word in /Applications/Dictionary.app from a Terminal window ?

open -a /Applications/Dictionary.app/ --args word


ignores --args, says "type a word to look up"

Mac Dictionary improvements suggests ⌃ Control ⌘ Command D however I'm looking to launch the full app, not just the small popover.
You can use...

open dict://my_word


...which will open the Dictionary application and lookup the string my_word. If you want to use multiple words use something like open dict://"Big Bang Theory".

There's no output in the Terminal though.
