first of all , thanks for the response. I did tried searching for 
available dictionaries using

$ sudo yum search dictionaries

and it did listed a good count of them. The question still remains that 
why is 'wordnet' not considered, when 'dict' client does lists it in 
results why is the daemon failing to load/consider it.
