Some of the ways to identify the meaning of a word based on the available context are:
- Read and understand the text/sentence
- Write out on a pad the original meaning of the word
- Read the particular sentence aloud where the word whose meaning you want to find
- For example, if your sentence that contains the word "mast" goes like this: "At his burial, the flag was flown at half-mast", you can directly infer that this is a sign of respect.
- With this in mind, you can see that the meaning of the word "mast" based on the context used means that a dead person is being honored and this is an upright post that a flag is attached to.
- Therefore, the meaning would be "an upright pole"
