contrary has 6 distinct synonyms spread across 3 of its 7 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. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
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.
a relation of direct opposition
“we thought Sue was older than Bill but just the reverse was true”
exact opposition
“public opinion to the contrary he is not guilty”
a logical relation such that two propositions are contraries if both cannot be true but both can be false
