Adjective: "(obsolete) Knit or woven together; close; firm."

One cite, which to me doesn't clearly support the definition. Definition not found in Century 1911 or MW 1913. OED might have it. DCDuring (talk) 16:07, 15 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's in the big OED with three cites:
 * ''?1541  R. Copland Guy de Chauliac's Questyonary Cyrurgyens ii. sig. Cijv   The skynne is composed & context and wouen with thredes and vaynes.
 * ''1661  R. Boyle New Exper. Physico-mech. (1682) iii. iv. 71   Describe how such a string may be context.
 * 1713  W. Derham Physico-theol. iv. xii. 222   Hollow and thin for Lightness, but withal context and firm, for Strength.  :  D b f  i  r  s   19:41, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. DCDuring (talk) 01:29, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I couldn't find the 1541 cite among the works Google has scanned. I wonder if it is in the out-of-copyright OED. DCDuring (talk) 14:04, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
