ability has 1 distinct synonym spread across 1 of its 2 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. Its one recorded opposite is inability.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
the quality of being able to perform; a quality that permits or facilitates achievement or accomplishment
possession of the qualities (especially mental qualities) required to do something or get something done
“danger heightened his powers of discrimination”
