Answer:

Connotation - the emotional connection to a word

Step-by-step explanation:

Home has a warm, happy, and safe connotation, while the word "house" seems cold, clinical, and not personal. The connotation is the emotional connection to a word. The denotation is the literal definition of a word. Both house and home mean the same thing.
