* Misinterpretation: This directly implies understanding something incorrectly.
* Misunderstanding: Similar to misinterpretation, but can refer to a broader lack of understanding.
* Literal: If someone interprets something figuratively, the antonym could be "literal," meaning they understand it only in its most basic, non-symbolic sense.
* Ignoring: This suggests complete disregard for the meaning, rather than trying to understand it.
* Neglecting: Similar to ignoring, this implies a failure to consider or analyze something.
The best antonym will depend on the specific context in which "interpretation" is used.
