qualified has 4 distinct synonyms spread across 3 of its 5 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. Its one recorded opposite is unqualified.
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.

“many qualified applicants for the job”
limited or restricted; not absolute
“gave only qualified approval”
holding appropriate documentation and officially on record as qualified to perform a specified function or practice a specified skill
“a registered pharmacist”
restricted in meaning; (as e.g. `man' in `a tall man')
