thin has 16 distinct synonyms spread across 7 of its 13 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 4 recorded opposites are thick, fat, full, thicken.
