    Maybe mthesaur.el is what your looking for:
    <URL:http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/mthesaur.el>

Mthesaur does not provide definitions of terms; it provides only synonym
lists.

Synonyms does the same thing, plus more:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/synonyms.el (doc:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/Synonyms).

Synonyms also provides commands that look up dictionary definitions on the
Web.
