Answer:By looking at prefix or root word we can understand the meaning of the word.
By looking at the surrounding words we can understand what the word may mean.
Explanation:eg: The man was hiding in the cave, his heart full of malignancy against the whole race who had cast him out.
Some may not know the answer of the word malignancy but by looking at the words like 'heart full of' and 'against' we come to know that it is a negative feeling. Some of the similar words are malicious which means to harm others. So come close to its real meaning that is 'wishing to do evil to others.'
