I’m not sure what one should expect if you look up a word and it is not in any dictionary. There are always going to be obscure or archaic or borrowed or invented words which you’ll have to figure out from context, or (depending on how motivated you are to investigate), consult other references. That is assuming it is not a typo or other error missed by proof readers.
