I came upon a word I hadn’t seen before: Contronym. Simply stated a contronym is a word that is its own antonym. Here are some of these words: Oversight, sanction, left, dust, seed, stone, trim, etc. The meaning of these words can be one thing or the opposite thing depending on context. You can seed a lawn, or seed a lemon (meaning un-seed I guess). Trimming a Christmas tree is quite the opposite of trimming a hedge. 4 people left the party, how many are left?
What is the opposite of a contronym? I guess just a word with no other meanings. My head hurts.
