Provide readers with a feeling.
Connotation is the emotional or associative meaning a word carries beyond its literal (denotative) definition. Authors use connotative language to create mood, evoke emotions, and shape readers’ impressions (e.g., calling someone “slender” vs. “skinny” vs. “scrawny” gives different feelings).
