Contexter
/kənˈtɛkstər/noun
A person who places something within its relevant context or explains it in relation to surrounding circumstances.
Did you know?The root behind contexter also produced words for text, textiles, texture, and tissue—because ancient Latin imagined connected meaning as something woven.
