Answer:

Connotation is an idea or feeling that a word evokes. If something has a positive connotation, it will evoke warm feelings. Meanwhile, something with a negative connotation will make someone feel less than pleasant. To call someone “verbose” when you want to say they're a “great conversationalist” may not convey that.

VARVARA [1.3K]
Look at the surrounding context.

For example
Jeremy was so ecstatic that he had made friends, that he began jumping up and down.
To figure out the meaning of ecstatic, you would think about the clues: 'made friends' and 'jumping up and down'. These both lead you to the idea of being very happy or excited. The actual definition is feeling or expressing overwhelming happiness or joyful excitement...
