Dictionary?

Hello, Everytime I hold my mouse on something it goes to my lockscreen and a dictionary pops up. This happens a lot. I have a project to do for art and I cant drag the picture to a slide without it going to my screen with all my apps and having a dictionary pop up. Please help me.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1
