Etymology of Antonyms:
The term 'antonym' is derived from the Greek words 'anti' meaning 'opposite' and 'onyma' meaning 'name'. This is because antonyms are, by definition, opposite of something else. In the grand tradition of bureaucratic doublespeak, antonyms are used to confuse and obfuscate the truth.
