'Kontext' (context) comes from the Latin 'contextus', meaning 'connection' or 'that which is woven together'. The prefix 'kon-' means 'together'. This origin helps you understand the meaning as 'Gesamtzusammenhang' (overall context).

Common expressions are 'etwas in den richtigen Kontext setzen' (to put something in the right context) or 'im historischen/sozialen/kulturellen Kontext betrachten' (to look at something in its historical/social/cultural context). The phrase 'aus dem Kontext reißen' (to take out of context) is especially widespread.
