Context clues.

These are words or phrases around an unfamiliar word that help you infer its meaning. Types include definitions or restatements, synonyms, antonyms, examples, and general inference from the sentence or paragraph.

Example: "The arid landscape, dry and cracked from lack of rain, made farming impossible." — here "arid" = dry (definition/context clue).
