Missing Dictionary on MacBook Pro Monterey

Using Monterey 12.5.1 and I just noticed that I have no dictionary - only Wikipedia shows up in the dictionary folder. In an earlier strand I saw that others lost the dictionary when upgrading to Catalina. I don't now how long I haven't had access to the dictionary. Any where I can go to download the original dictionary that comes with MacBook Pro's?

Thank you - I think I solved the issue by going to the preferences of the dictionary app. Wikipedia was chosen as the "primary" dictionary as per a check mark in the box. Non of the English dictionaries were selected. Also several foreign language dictionaries were selected. Why would an update change this particular area of the system?
