The words that come before and after the word you're trying to figure out
When you don't know what a word means, you can look at the context clues. That means you can look at the words around it and how it's used, and figure out the meaning. Context is how we learn new vocabulary all the time; it is how all children learn language.
As an exercise, you can put a nonsense word in a sentence and see if anyone can get the meaning just from context. For example: "She had a long day of arguing with suppliers, and then the battery in her car went dead so she had to get a cab and when she got home and found she'd left the front door key at the office, she felt totally grizumph."
You should be able to guess what grizumph means.
