Hi, It depends on whether you have memories, usually pleasant, that you associate with these words. Evocative words for me include 'bicycle' and 'Mexico'. Best wishes, Clive

Any word that evokes a memory or a feeling is said to be evocative. As Clive has indicated, they are more often used with pleasant memories or feelings. But they may be negative, as well.
