to figure out what it means by using clues in the text and my own knowledge

To make an inference of a word is to figure out what it means by using clues in the text and my own knowledge

Explanation:

When reading a text, we can come across unfamiliar words, but there are many techniques, rather than using a dictionary, that we can use to figure out their meaning. One of those techniques is making an inference. By making an inference we can find out what a word means by using clues in the text (like synonyms, antonyms, definitions or any other surrounding information) and our prior knowledge or experience. That is why many agree that an inference is an educated guess.
