thought has 10 distinct synonyms spread across 3 of its 4 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 process of using your mind to consider something carefully
“thinking always made him frown”
the organized beliefs of a period or group or individual
“19th century thought”
a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty
“my opinion differs from yours”
Synonyms, antonyms and the broader and narrower relations for thought come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Full sources and licences.
