When we speak of a additional suggestive meaning are talking about its .?

When we speak of an additional suggestive meaning, we are talking about its connotation.

Here's why:

* Connotation refers to the implied or associated meanings of a word or phrase, beyond its literal definition. These meanings can be emotional, cultural, or subjective.

* Denotation refers to the literal or dictionary definition of a word.

Example:

* Word: "Home"

* Denotation: A place of residence.

* Connotation: Warmth, comfort, family, security, etc.

So, when a word or phrase has an additional suggestive meaning, it's carrying a connotation beyond its basic meaning.
