Removed dictdef from the accompanying Dab page

Essentially reformatting & sprucing up my edit summary:

I removed

"An operculum is a small covering or lid, and is widely used in descriptions of animals and plants."

from below the wikt link. Colleagues who find the wikt coverage inadequate have two uncontroversial options:

write a WP article on the word, heavy with enc'ic info on the word
be satisfied with the orthodox (and in this case, existing) lk to the Wikt entry.

For the (current and) more controversial ~~current approach~~, see the accompanying talk pg.
