Synonym is a word with the same or similar meaning; antonym is a word with the opposite meaning (ani-meaning).

Synonyms are different words with identical or at least similar meanings. Words that are synonyms are said to be synonymous, and the state of being a synonym is called synonymy. The word comes from Ancient Greek σ?ν ("syn") "with" and ?νομα ("onoma") "name."

An example of synonyms is the words car and automobile. Similarly, if we talk about a long time or an extended time, long and extended become synonyms. In the figurative sense, two words are often said to be synonymous if they have the same connotation:"a widespread impression that … Hollywood was synonymous with immorality"

An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word. For examples: up-down day- night stop-go hitch-bitch PRETTY ---UGLY
