unlawful has 7 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 lawful.
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.
not conforming to legality, moral law, or social convention
“an unconventional marriage”
contrary to or prohibited by or defiant of law
“unlawful measures”
contrary to or forbidden by law
“an illegitimate seizure of power”
