3. Morphemic Analysis:

• контекстн- (kontekstn-): Prefix derived from "контекст" (kontekst) - "context," ultimately from Latin contextus (meaning "woven together"). Functions as a compounding element.
• -о- (-o-): Linking vowel, common in Russian compound words.
• -свободн- (-svobodn-): Root derived from "свобода" (svoboda) - "freedom," from Proto-Slavic svoboda.
