What is the opposite word of required?

The opposite of "required" depends on the context:

If "required" means necessary or obligatory:

* Optional: This implies something is not necessary, but is available if desired.

* Unnecessary: This means something is not needed.

* Voluntary: This implies a choice to participate or not.

* Discretionary: This suggests something is left to individual judgment.

If "required" means demanded or requested:

* Offered: This means something is presented as a possibility, not a demand.

* Suggested: This implies a recommendation, not a requirement.

* Optional: This means something is not mandatory, but available if wanted.

* Unrequested: This means something was not asked for or desired.

The best opposite will depend on the specific situation.
