suspension has 13 distinct synonyms spread across 6 of its 7 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.
a mixture in which fine particles are suspended in a fluid where they are supported by buoyancy
a time interval during which there is a temporary cessation of something

a mechanical system of springs or shock absorbers connecting the wheels and axles to the chassis of a wheeled vehicle
a temporary debarment (from a privilege or position etc)
