Top answer

I think you mean ' collocation ', which is the tendency for words to appear together, like 'traffic safety' and 'go shopping', which are highly collocated words. Low collocation describes words that seldom or never appear together, like 'traffic envelope' or 'sit shopping'. You could also mean ' connotation ', which is a suggested or implied meaning in a word or phrase.
