The denotation of the word chair, for example, is that it is a piece of furniture, that it has a seat, legs, a back, and often arms, and that one person can sit on it.
In addition to its denotation, a word may have a connotation, that is, the suggestive or associative implications of an expression beyond its literal sense.
Two or more words may have the same denotation and connotation and yet differ in their range of applicability; that is, they cannot be used interchangeably in the same context.
