Clean favored: Well-groomed

Myriad: Numerous

Derivative: Unoriginal

What is meant by contextual meaning?

Contextual meaning means the meaning of a word that is inferred from the surrounding words, texts, or paragraphs.

The dictionary meaning of the words may differ.

The words in the excerpt carry different meaning from their dictionary meaning like the meaning of favored is recommended but here in the given context, clean favored means well-groomed.

The meaning changed because the words that surround the word are gentleman and imperially slim that describe the personality of the man.

Similarly the meanings of the words myriad and derivative that can be drawn from the passage are numerous and unoriginal respectively.
