Connote

What do we mean by connote?

To suggest or imply in addition to literal meaning. transitive verb

To have as a related or attendant condition. transitive verb

Same as connotate.

To signify; mean; imply.

This meaning was introduced by J. S. Mill. A word connotes those attributes which its predication of a subject asserts that that subject possesses. But connote is now often loosely used in such a sense that any attribute known to be possessed by all the objects denoted by a term is said to be connoted by that term. Mill discountenances this use of the word.
