extractor has 4 distinct synonyms spread across 2 of its 3 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.
an instrument for extracting tight-fitting components
an apparatus that uses centrifugal force to separate particles from a suspension
a mechanism in a firearm that pulls an empty shell case out of the chamber and passes it to the ejector
