Nene has the only correct answer.

Nene is spot on, but didn't make it clear that the word comes directly from the Latin "contextus" (same meaning).
However, the word was constructed just as she explained it.

Con = against you already know what text is.
How ever did you fail to realize that?
However did you fail to realise?
Contextually the meaning is dependant on the content but sometimes on the context!

Con is your prefix
Text is your root word
ual would be your suffix (if it was on the end of context)
hope this helps

It comes from the Latin:
- 'con' meaning 'with',
- 'texere' meaning to weave, or to build.
('Text' is the past participle of 'texere')

it is "cont-"
"cont-" implies a continuation of, and in this case, ideas and text.
