Correct answer: the feelings associated with a word.

Connotation = the ideas, emotions, or associations a word evokes beyond its literal or dictionary meaning (denotation).
Example: denotation of "home" = a place where someone lives; connotation = warmth, safety, family.
(An author's attitude toward a subject is closer to tone or stance.)
