Is the word surprise a connotation if so is it a negative or positive or neutral connotation?

Answer 1

The word surprise is not a connotation, but it can haveconnotations. This is a complicated question, however. Connotative meaning is the implied or understood meaning of a word or phrase; it is opposed to the denotative meaning, which is the dictionary definition for a word. The complication arises in that connotative meanings differ from person to person.

For example, for one person surprise could have a positive connotation. It could make them think of surprise birthday parties, of receiving unexpected gifts, et cetera. For another, it could have a neutral connotation. Sometimes surprises are good, sometimes they are bad. For a third person, it could have a negative connotation. Surprises could mean unforeseen bills or a sudden tragedy. Meanings are not in words, but in people. The connotation of the word surprise, therefore, depends on the person.
