"Connotation" means a non-dictionary definition.
Example: "The water is cool" (non-connotative)
"The movie was cool" (connotative).
In the sentence, "The movie was cool" the word "cool" doesn't refer to temperature, but to a systematic, rule-governed use of the word "cool" as a synonym for "awesome".
In other words, a group of people agree that the word "cool" can be used instead of the word "awesome," and "awesome" becomes the connotative definition of "cool."
