What is the opposite of word opposite?

This is a bit of a word puzzle! Here's how to think about it:

* "Opposite" can have multiple meanings. It can refer to something directly contrasting another thing, or it can be used as a synonym for "contrary" or "reverse."

* Since "opposite" is a word describing a concept, it doesn't really have a direct opposite in the same way that "hot" has "cold."

However, here are some words that could be considered opposites depending on the context:

* Same: If "opposite" means "contrary," then "same" could be the opposite.

* Similar: If "opposite" means "completely different," then "similar" could be an opposite.

* Identical: If "opposite" means "completely different," then "identical" could be an opposite.

* Complement: If "opposite" means "contrasting," then "complement" could be an opposite, as it suggests something that enhances rather than contrasts.

The best "opposite" would depend on the specific situation and how you're using the word "opposite."
