Rare alternative spelling or form relating to implied meanings and associations; carrying suggested rather than literal significance.
An alternative or archaic form of 'connotative,' using the suffix '-ive' (having the quality of) directly on 'connot-' rather than the more common '-ative' form.
This is basically a forgotten variant of 'connotative'—language evolves and 'connotive' lost the competition, similar to how 'connexion' lost to 'connection,' showing that English is always consolidating spellings over time.
