anti-

word-forming element meaning "against, opposed to, opposite of, instead," from Old French anti- and directly from Latin anti-, from Greek anti "against, opposite, instead of," also used as a prefix, from PIE *anti- "against," also "in front of" (see ante). It appears in some words in Middle English but was not commonly used in word formations until modern times.

anti- /ˈanti/ prefix. Also ant- before a vowel or h (see anth-).

ORIGIN: Greek = opposite, against, in exchange, instead, representing, rivalling, simulating.

Used in words adopted (ult.) from Greek and in English words modelled on these, and as a freely productive prefix with the sense ‘opposite, against, preventing’, forming (a) nouns from nouns, as antibody, anticlimax, antidemocrat; also with the senses ‘rival, pseudo-’, as Antichrist, antipope, ‘the reverse of, unlike the conventional’, as anti-hero, antinovel, and (with suffix -ism, -ist) ‘(the doctrine of) a person opposed to’, as anti-Americanism, anti-feminism, anti-feminist, anti-imperialism, anti-imperialist (those in -ist also used attrib. or as adjective); in Physics designating an antiparticle of a specified particle, as antineutrino, antineutron, antiproton, antiquark; in Biology & Medicine designating substances which counteract or inhibit the effect of another substance, as anticholinesterase, antihormone, antivitamin; in Chemistry (usu. italicized) designating geometrical isomers of organic compounds containing C=N or N=N in which the principal atoms or groups attached to the doubly bonded atoms are on opposite sides of the plane of the double bond (opp. syn-); (b) adjectives from adjectives, the prefix acting as a preposition governing the noun implied, as anti-American, anti-colonial, antimalarial, anti-papal, anti-parliamentary, anti-revolutionary, anti-Semitic, (these can further form adverbs where appropriate); these adjectives can be used ellipt. as nouns, esp. Medicine designating a drug or other agent counteracting the noun implied, as anticonvulsant, antidepressant; (c) adjectives from nouns in attrib. use, as anti-apartheid (demonstration etc.), anti-combination (laws etc.), anti-court (party etc.), anti-missile (missile etc.), anti-noise (regulations etc.), anti-roll (bar etc.), anti-slavery (society etc.), anti-union (feeling etc.), anti-war (literature, party, etc.).
