antonym

/ˈæn.təˌnɪm/ noun B1 ✓

A word which has the opposite meaning of another word.

Word Origin Antonym is built from Greek 'anti-' (against) and 'onyma' (name) — literally 'opposite name'. The same root 'onym' appears in synonym (same name), homonym (same name but different meaning), pseudonym (false name), and anonymous (without name). The Greek 'onyma' is related to English 'name' and Latin 'nomen', so antonym is a word that stands against another word's name.

noun A word which has the opposite meaning of another word. B1 ✓ countable
