The right place is in setttings, general, dictionary. It is right near the language and region button. Double-tap on dictionary and select the ictionary and thesaurus you want to use from the options. Once that's done, they should download and be ready for use.
While you're writing something, you can type the word, turn the rotor to "edit", swipe down until you get to "select" and double-tap that. Swipe down again until you reach the "look up" option in the edit menu. Double-tap that and you'll be presended with a screen containing any information about the word from various available sources including the dictionary and thesaurus. Personally, I don't find anything from the thesaurus but the dictionary works great. For me, third party apps have proven far more useful. A good starting one is Wordweb. It can work along with the Chambers dictionary and thesaurus apps if you need heavier artillary. Hope that helps.
