3. The intension and extension of a word
4. Something signified or referred to; a particular meaning of a symbol
5. Any mathematical object which describes the meanings of expressions from the languages, formalized in the theory of denotational semantics

Étymologie (Anglais)

From Late Latin dēnotātiō, from Latin dēnotāre (“to denote, mark out”) + -tiō (suffix forming nouns of action), from dē- (“completely”) + notāre (“to mark”); equivalent to denote + -ation.
