A word's connotation refers to **the feeling the word gives the reader**. It encompasses the emotional associations and implications that a word carries beyond its literal definition (denotation). For example, the word "home" typically has positive connotations of warmth, safety, and comfort, while "house" is more neutral and strictly refers to the physical structure.
