Denotative and Connotative are antonyms.

Denotation refers to the straightforward dictionary definition while connotation refers to the personal feelings and thoughts of the word. The words are opposites.

For example, the denotative meaning of the word HOME is a dwelling or living space, and the connotative meaning of HOME is comfort, safety, and warmth.
