Words do not carry fixed meanings; rather, their significance emerges from linguistic, social, and situational environments. This paper explores how context shapes semantic interpretation, influences ambiguity resolution, and guides pragmatic understanding. By examining examples across discourse settings, it highlights the dynamic relationship between vocabulary and context, emphasizing that comprehension depends not only on definitions but also on surrounding cues and shared knowledge. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/100
