term
  used strictly as the correlative of Con-notation, to describe one of the two functions of a
concrete
 
term
 . The
concrete
  term " connotes " attributes and " denotes " all the individuals which, as possessing these attributes, constitute the genus or
species
  described by the term. Thus " cricketer " denotes the individuals who
play
  cricket, and connotes the qualities or characteristics by which these individuals are marked. In this sense, in which it was first used by J. S.

Connotation

adjective

Connotation
  or Intension increases; e.g. a generic term like " flower " has a larger Extension, and a smaller Intension than " rose " rose "
than "
moss
 -rose." In more
general
  language Denotation is used loosely for that which is meant or indicated by a word, phrase, sentence or even an action. Thus a proper name or even an abstract term is said to have Denotation. (See
