launching has 6 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.
the act of moving a newly built vessel into the water for the first time
the act of beginning something new
“they looked forward to the debut of their new product line”
Synonyms, antonyms and the broader and narrower relations for launching come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Full sources and licences.
