    A connotation is an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal or primary meaning. An example of it would be "discipline". It has an unhappy connotation of punishment.

    A denotation is a literal or primary meaning of a word, in contrast to the feelings or ideas that the word suggests. Shrewed literally means having good judgment but has a negative connotation.
