Yep!
You double-tap and lift off to select the word. Then double-tap the selected word and start dragging immediately keeping your finger down. It's actually kind of tricky to get to work without dragging the word but once you get it a couple of times it gets easier.
Here's an explanation on how to do it also from macworld.com, same as above:
To select text (and this works in nearly any program that involves text) on a word-by-word basis, do a double-click-and-hold before you start dragging, instead of a single click. As you move the mouse along now, you’ll see that entire words are added to your selection as soon as the cursor touches their first character. So if you’ve got a fair bit of text to select, but still need precision, this is a pretty quick way to get it done.

Having just checked all prefs that I thought might have an effect on this, the only option I found was in the "Seeing" tab in Universal in System Preferences. There, you have a Keyboard shortcut available to turn on/off Zoom.
Sorry, but that is the best answer I can give you. Perhaps others will chime in with something better.

You can change it by modifying the
/Library/Dictionaries/YourDefaultDictionary/Contents/DefaultStyle.cssfile.You must change the part related to the html.apple_client-panel.
There you'll find this:
This is the definition's font size.
If you want to change the size of all the fonts, you'll have to play around with the rest of the
html.apple_client-panelrelated stuff.When modifying the file, you'll be prompted to duplicate the document, as it is protected. Change it, save it, change (if necessary) its file format to .css, and just replace it inside the dictionary's package. This will require admin privileges, of course.
Note: Make sure you're editing the DefaultStyle.css file inside your defaults Dictionary package. Remember, too, to reopen the Application were you're testing this, or the changes won't be noticeable.
