s. contrarium (the contrary): “The opposite of anything ” must be expressed by contrarius alicujus or alicui rei; e.g. the opposite of this virtue is moral depravity hujus virtutis contraria est vitiositas (Cic. Tusc. 4 15 34): The vices as opposite to the virtues vitia quae sunt virtutum contraria (Cic. Fin. 2 24 67): the manners of the town as opposite to the manners of the country urbanitas cui contraria est rusticitas (Quint. 6 3 17): opposites contraria; adversa; or more fully contraria contrariis opposita (Cic.). ☞ Opposita is very late; Vid: Ruhnken ad Muret. t. 3 p. 489. Avoid also antithesis in this sense; in the old grammarians it denoted the substitution of one letter for another; Vid: Freund’s Lex. s. v.
