Rare enough to double-check
kontextfrei is uncommon German outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed [ˈkɔntɛkstˌfʁaɪ̯]. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. 5 senses are on record.
The misspelling generator found no plausible variants for kontextfrei, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable German rules. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which typically means the spelling is too distinctive to be mistaken for another word.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so its spelling is best explained by sound-to-letter mapping rather than etymology. The correct German form is kontextfrei, spelled K-O-N-T-E-X-T-F-R-E-I.

Er hat das Zitat kontextfrei dargeboten, insofern bleibt bei mir ein Zweifel, ob die Absicht des Schreibers nicht vielleicht vom Referenten missinterpretiert wurde.
Sobald eine Grammatik auch Regeln von allgemeinerem Typ als kontextfreie enthält, ist sie selbst nicht mehr kontextfrei. Gleichwohl kann die erzeugte Sprache (Wortmenge) zuweilen kontextfrei sein, wenn sie nämlich auch noch von einer anderen Grammatik erzeugt wird, die nun wirklich nur kontextfreie Regeln enthält.
