An antonym is a word that is the opposite meaning of another. It comes from the Greek words “anti” for opposite and “onym” for name. Since language is complex, people may at times, disagree on what words are truly opposite in meaning to other words.

Working with Antonyms

Sometimes you need to take two steps to enlarge your findings when doing antonym research:

Step 1: Search for the antonyms for a word.

Here is an example of antonyms for the word "good":
  • bad, badly, badness, evil, evilness, ill, malevolent, malicious, poorly, wicked 
Step 2: Search for synonyms of the antonyms identifed in step one.

If you take the first antonym listed, “bad,” and search for synonyms, you would be shown 73 synonyms for “bad.” That would give you a lot of antonyms to choose from when looking for that perfect antonym for good, including words such as: awful, dreadful, hard, hopeless, inferior, lousy, painful, rotten, severe, stale, terrible, and tough.
