whats is antonyms?and synonyms

Hello student

Antonyms :- An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word. For instance, the antonym of 'hot' may be 'cold.' The root words for the word 'antonym' are the words 'anti,' meaning 'against' or 'opposite,' and 'onym,' meaning 'name.'

three types of antonymy: (1) Gradable antonyms, which operate on a continuum: (very) big, (very) small. Such pairs often occur in binomial phrases with and: (blow) hot and cold, (search) high and low. (2) Complementary antonyms, which express an either/or relationship: dead or alive, male or female. (3) Converse or relational antonyms, expressing reciprocity: borrow or lend, buy or sell, wife or husband."

Synonyms :- A synonym is a word that has a similar meaning to or exactly the same meaning as another word. For example, a synonym for beautiful is stunning: She is a beautiful girl. She is a stunning girl.

Synonyms and antonyms are exactly the opposite .
