You can sometimes figure out the meaning of a phrasal compound by looking at the words' context. What is context?
zalisa [80]
<span>Context: The parts of something written or spoken that immediately precede and follow a word or passage and clarify its meaning.

In an example, if the sentence said "Can you stop disturbing me, I'm trying to study" you can probably use context to find the meaning of the word disturb, such as " I'm trying to study. this indicates that the person is bothering the one who is studying. YOU JUST USED CONTEXT!
