When a word suggests something beyond its definition, it's called a connotation.

Here's a breakdown:

* Denotation: The literal, dictionary definition of a word.

* Connotation: The emotional associations, cultural implications, or subjective meanings attached to a word.

Example:

* Denotation of "cheap": Low in price

* Connotation of "cheap": Low quality, lacking value, tacky (negative connotation) OR affordable, bargain (positive connotation)

Connotations can be highly subjective and vary depending on individual experiences and cultural contexts.
