The 'Connotation Of The Word Home'

The word connotation is defined as a feeling or an idea that a word invokes or suggest to someone in addition to its literal, real meaning and it evokes a certain mood or feeling. It is the abstract meaning of a word or term. An example of the possible connotation of the word “home” is “a place of safety, security, warmth and comfort”, not the primary meaning which is the physical place. Another example is “Wall street” which literally means the street that is situated in Lower Manhattan, but connotatively it refers to “power” and “wealth”. Poets especially enjoy using connotations in their poems to suggest other meanings of words or phrase and spur a reaction to the reader. Metaphors are words that connote imaginative, abstract meanings. Connotations
