In music, the Italian term "tenuto" is the opposite of staccato. Tenuto notes are played in a connected style, rather than the separated style of staccato. They're signified by a horizontal line written above or below the note. Another term that means the opposite of staccato is "legato," a term that is very similar to tenuto. Legato notes are played smooth and connected, and they're identified by the word "Legato."
