You can look up the definition or meaning of a word in OneNote by using the Smart Lookup tool or the Immersive Reader feature.

In the OneNote desktop app, right-click the word you want to check and select Smart Lookup. You can also go to the Review tab on the ribbon and select Smart Lookup. This opens a definition and research pane.

In OneNote for the web and supported versions, you can go to the View tab and select Immersive Reader. Immersive Reader provides built-in definition tools, including a picture dictionary.

Alternatively, you can right-click a word and select Search or Look Up, depending on your operating system and OneNote version.

In OneNote, the available way to check a word’s meaning in the provided guidance is to use Immersive Reader Picture Dictionary or, on supported desktop apps, the Thesaurus for related words.

For OneNote for the web:

Open the notebook page.
Select View > Immersive Reader.
Select the word.
Picture Dictionary shows a related picture and can read the word aloud.

For OneNote on iPad:

Open the OneNote app.
Open the notebook page.
Use Immersive Reader and select the word to see the Picture Dictionary definition and hear it read aloud.

For desktop OneNote:

Select the word in the notebook.
On the Review tab, click Thesaurus.

If the goal is a dictionary-style definition with visual support, Immersive Reader Picture Dictionary is the documented option.
