About Meaning from Context
Meaning from context requires inferring an unfamiliar word or phrase from surrounding clues, including definitions, examples, contrasts, cause and effect, tone and grammatical role. The intended meaning may differ from a dictionary’s first meaning, so collocation, connotation and the sentence’s overall idea must be considered together.
