An antonym is a word that has the opposite meaning of another word. Antonyms are used to convey opposite concepts and are an important part of the vocabulary that enables us to describe the world in terms of binary opposites, such as hot and cold, light and dark, or full and empty. They're essential for understanding the relational nature of language and for expanding our ability to express contrasting ideas. For example, the antonym of "tall" is "short," and the antonym of "success" is "failure."
