rambling has 9 distinct synonyms spread across 3 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.
spreading out in different directions or distributed irregularly
“sprawling handwriting”
(of e.g. speech and writing) tending to depart from the main point or cover a wide range of subjects
“amusingly digressive with satirical thrusts at women's fashions among other things”
Synonyms, antonyms and the broader and narrower relations for rambling come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Full sources and licences.
