What is the term antonyms words

[DigitalExplorer]

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and I have a question about antonyms words. What is the term for words that have opposite meanings? I understand that they are opposites, but I am not sure what the correct terminology is.

Antonyms are words with opposite meanings. They are used to describe or express opposite ideas or feelings. For example, the antonym of "hot" is "cold" and the antonym of "happy" is "sad". Antonyms are useful for many aspects of communication, such as writing, speaking, and problem-solving.
