The origin of the word "context" is a merging of the word "con" (for "con artist") and "text" (the written word). It came into use around 1746 in Crumpetshire, England after Sir Walter Brutus of House Billybob fabricated a counterfeit thesis paper scroll to gain entry into Oxford University. Nearly 900 hundred years later in February 2015, his scroll was discovered which had primitive yet advanced schematics to what we know now as "computers". To this day, it is still unknown how Sir Walter was able to arrange such complicated algorithms on a simple wool-skin hide, but as if in homage to his great con, his algorithm can be seen even to this day in any PC or Mac by holding down Ctrl+W in precise sequence.
