Term for direct antonyms?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
The word "antonyms" covers any pair of words where the meaning is opposite -- quiet and loud, cautious and foolhardy, simple and complex -- but each word in these pairs could have other partners instead -- loud and silent, cautious and reckless, simple and intricate, etc. Some pairs of antonyms are much more closely related, linguistically, with one having been derived from the other or both derived from a common root -- visible and invisible, normal and abnormal, hopeful and hopeless.
Is there a specific term to describe these special antonyms?
