?Which word?

Do not confuse undertone (a hidden feeling or a quiet voice) and overtone (an extra meaning or attitude that is suggested), though both are often used in the plural.

Undertone (छिपा भाव या धीमी आवाज़) और overtone (सुझाया गया अतिरिक्त अर्थ या भाव) में भ्रमित न हों, हालाँकि दोनों अक्सर plural में प्रयोग होते हैं।
