Synonym means: "word which has the same or almost the same meaning as another"

Antomym means: "word having the opposite meaning of another word"


I hope this helps!

while surfeit does deal with an opposite subject, if surfeit were an antonym, you would be able to replace the word deprivation with it and still have a valid sentence

the other words do not have any relationship to deprivation at all! I have to wonder how you came up with that list...

You should get familiar with thesaurus.com / dictionary.com if you don't already have paper books...although the dictionary definitions are not the best, they will certainly suffice.

If you type deprivation into thesaurus.com you will get a bunch of good antonyms and synonyms.

I somewhat prefer www.hyperdictionary.com to dictionary.com/thesaurus.com, m-w.com, etc.
...It gives synonyms on the same results page as definitions, & every word is a link to its own definition.

thank you, all of you ar so kind. in fact, i can find nonsense in 'fecundity' as the antonym of deprivation, by the way, this is one question in an exam, some of my classmates who follow the opinion of a lame-duck book deem "fecundity" as the antonym of deprivation because in some poor-qualified dictionary, the word deprivation is defined as poverty.
