elevation has 17 distinct synonyms spread across 5 of its 8 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.
angular distance above the horizon (especially of a celestial object)
a raised or elevated geological formation

“there was snow at the higher elevations”

“a dancer of exceptional elevation”
the act of increasing the wealth or prestige or power or scope of something
“the aggrandizement of the king”
