the associations attached to a word

wrong answer

I apologize for the confusion. The correct definition of connotation is the emotional or cultural associations associated with a word, beyond its literal meaning. It refers to the feelings, ideas, or concepts that a word evokes in addition to its actual definition.

THE ANSWER IS THE ASSOCIATIONS ATTACHED TO A WORD

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct, the definition of connotation is indeed "the associations attached to a word." Connotation refers to the additional meanings or emotions that a word carries beyond its literal or dictionary definition. Thank you for clarifying.
