Lots of meaning can be gleaned from context, but there are many antique/obsolete/quaint words from the Edwardian era and a glossary for the book (via the Pynchonwiki for AtD) comes in handy from time to time. Some of those words are concepts that are central to the telling of the story, and require more research.
