Antonym? It’s Greek to me – and everyone else, too. The origin of the word antonym is Greek “anti” (opposite) plus “onoma” (name).

Antonyms increase the power of searching on Westlaw. If courts use the antonym of a word, a case would be missed if a search does not include both the word and its antonym. When searching for a word like reasonable, we suggest always using the antonym unreasonable; likewise allow should be paired with forbid! and disallow!, admiss! and inadmiss!, etc.
