Etymology

The word 'connote' originates from the Latin word 'connote', which is a combination of 'con-', meaning 'together', and 'notare', meaning 'to mark'. The term was first used in English during the early 19th century. Its meaning has evolved to focus primarily on the implications that are associated with words or phrases rather than their explicit definitions. This makes it a valuable term in literature, linguistics, and semiotics, where the distinction between denotation (literal meaning) and connotation (associative meaning) is crucial in understanding communication and interpretation.
