The following information is about Denotation.
Denotation Defined
The literal dictionary meaning(s) of a word as distinct from an associated idea or connotation.
Sidelight: Many words have more than one denotation, such as the multiple meanings of fair or spring. In ordinary language, we strive for a single precise meaning of words to avoid ambiguity, but poets often take advantage of words with more than one meaning to suggest more than one idea with the same word. A pun also utilizes multiple meanings as a play on words.
This definition is in context to Poetry. See more contextual defintions for Denotation.
