Connotively

/ˈkɑnətɪvli/ adverb

Definition

In a way that involves implied, associated, or suggested meanings rather than literal definitions; through connotation.

Etymology

Formed by adding '-ly' to the rare adjective form 'connotive,' creating an adverb from an already archaic variant of 'connotative.'

Kelly Says

This word is so rare that even most English professors would pause before using it—but it's a perfect example of how English lets you build variations of words forever, even if nobody particularly wants them!
