Antonyms are words with the exact opposite meaning of another.
Examples:
cold = hot
sweet = sour
donate = take
The opposite (antonym) of antonym is synonym.
An antonym is a word that means the opposite. A synonym is a word that means the same thing, or nearly the same thing, for a given context.
antonyms = two words with diametrically opposed definitions or meanings
synonyms = two words with similar or "the same" definition or meaning.
So, the antonym for antonym is synonym.
This is slightly misleading, though, since synonyms are not necessarily "the same", but antonyms are most certainly diametrically opposed. So the only real antonym of an antonym is the singular word itself.
For example:
A synonym for an "ally" is "friend," and they are both antonyms to "enemy."
There is no question that "enemy" is an antonym to both "friend" and "ally."
However, an "ally" is not necessarily "friendly", so it is not truly the case that "ally" and "friend" have the same definition, however they remain as synonyms to each other.
So in this case, the concept of antonym is not really diametrically opposed to synonym, so the antonym of antonym is not necessarily synonym....But were you to look it up in a book of antonyms, you would certainly find that synonym and antonym are, in fact, antithetical, thereby making them antonyms.
Language is fun....enjoy the loopholes.
