A connotation is a commonly understood cultural or emotional association that some word or phrase carries, in addition to its literal meaning. So a lady is a woman (literal) but the polite, more cultured term for the person. Similarly, gentleman is the more polite, cultured term for its literal counterpart: man. I hope this gent helped answer your question :)
