antonym (English, noun)
Pronunciation: enpr: ǎnt′ənĭm'
ipa: /ˈæn.təˌnɪm/
rhymes: -ɪm
Etymology: From French antonyme (1840s and 1850s), which was modeled on earlier synonyme and influenced by the etymons of Ancient Greek ἀντωνυμία (antōnumía, “pronoun”); credit for popularization of the French loanword's naturalization into English is given principally to Charles John Smith and his 1867 book Synonyms and Antonyms: Or, Kindred Words and Their Opposites. Collected and Contrasted. By surface analysis, ant- + -onym.
Definitions: examples: text: “Rich” is an antonym of “poor”; “full” is an antonym of “empty”.
