handicap has 15 distinct synonyms spread across 4 of its 6 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.
the condition of being unable to perform as a consequence of physical or mental unfitness
“reading disability”
something immaterial that interferes with or delays action or progress
attempt to forecast the winner (especially in a horse race) and assign odds for or against a contestant
