Antonyms are words that have contrasting, or opposite, meanings. Like so much of the English language, “antonym” is rooted in the Greek language. The Greek word anti means opposite, while onym means name. Opposite name – that makes sense
You may be interested to know that there are three different kinds of antonyms. Let’s take a look at each one:
Complementary: Complementary antonyms have
no middle ground. Examples include:
* boy — girl, off — on, night — day, entrance — exit, exterior — interior, true — false, dead — alive, push — pull.
Relational: These are similar to complementary antonyms, except that both must exist for them to be antonyms of each other. Check out these examples:
* above — below, doctor — patient, husband — wife, servant — master, borrow — lend, give — receive, predator — prey, buy — sell, instructor — pupil
Graded: These antonyms deal with levels of comparison and they can be two words on a scale. Many are relative terms, which can be interpreted differently by different people. Examples include:
* young — elderly, hard — easy, happy — wistful, wise — foolish, fat — slim, warm — cool, early — late, fast — slow, dark -- Pail
