WordNet

WordNet® is a large lexical database of English.

For an open content dictionary, I recommend WordNet, by Princeton University, which has an online edition as well as a downloadable version and various interfaces. The project isn't a dictionary per se, but a project to map words according to their conceptual relationships like hypernyms, synonyms, and antonyms. The quality will be more consistent than from crowdsourced projects like Wiktionary or FreeDict. It has not been updated since about 2010, but there is an active open source fork called Open English WordNet.

Onelook

Onelook is a huge language database platform that includes finding a word into the dictionary, translation, and any other foreign language interpretation, by containing more than five million words.

For personal use by learners, OALD is as good a dictionary as any; I also cite Macmillan, Collins COBUILD, or Longman. They aren't freely licensed, so you can't republish or re-use their entries, but they're free at the point of delivery, and you can use sites like Wordnik or OneLook to search multiple online dictionaries at once.
