When we read, sometimes we can guess the meaning of a new word from the context.
Guessing the meaning of a word from the context
If a new word appears in a sentence, the sentence itself might give the meaning of the word. When we look at the words before and after the new word, it is possible to find its meaning.

In the sentence above, “a very difficult question to understand” explains the meaning of the word riddle.

If the sentence does not define the word, first, try to determine the word's part of speech. Then look at the way other words are used in the sentence, as this might give a clue to the meaning of the new word.
I sat on the green grass watching the white clouds sailing across the azure sky.
In the sentence above, azure is the colour of the sky—blue.
