What is a connotation?

A word often had two meanings: its denotation refers to its dictionary meaning. But its connotation is the understood or implied meaning of the word, containing the emotions and beliefs that the word makes people think. The connotation is often the cultural meaning: for example, in American culture, the word "fat" is defined in the dictionary as overweight or obese. But its connotation is very negative; American culture is obsessed with being thin, so "fat" has a negative connotation.


When a word suggests something beyond its definition what is it?

A connotation is a commonly understood, subjective cultural and/or emotional association that some word or phrase carries, in addition to the word or phrase's explicit or literal meaning. A connotation is frequently described as either positive or negative, with regards to its pleasing or displeasing emotional connection. For example, a stubborn person may be described as being either strong-willed or pig-headed; although these have the same literal meaning (i.e. stubborn), strong-willed connotes admiration for the level of someone's will (a positive connotation), while pig-headed connotes frustration in dealing with someone (a negative connotation).


Which of these means the same as the connotation of a word?

The denotation of a word refers to its literal meaning, while the connotation refers to the associated feelings or ideas that the word evokes.
