Is there a law that means each word specifically means its description in the dictionary?

No. Dictionary definitions describe the accepted and general uses of the word. They do not tell you that you cannot use it for other things, and indeed that is what inevitably happens over time with any language. For example, a dictionary printed sixty years ago would never define the word "gay" as "homosexual"; any modern dictionary which did not include that meaning would be inaccurate.
