Words That Are Contranyms (Mini #76)
byBrian Rollins

Some word trivia for our mini episode of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. This week, I’ve got 10 contranyms. What’s a contranym? Glad you asked.  

 

A contranym is a word with opposite meanings. For example: Sanction can mean ‘a penalty for disobeying a law’ and ‘official permission or approval for an action’.
