ANTONYMS
The term antonym comes from antonymy, which is the technical grammar term
for words that have contradictory meanings—but you can think of antonyms
as opposites.

Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings. For example, an antonym
of day is night, and an antonym of on is off.

Don’t overthink it, but the words synonym and antonym are actually antonyms.

An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word. For

example, hot and cold are antonyms, as are good and bad. Antonyms can be all
types of words: verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and even prepositions.
