yet has 19 distinct synonyms spread across 5 of its 6 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.
within an indefinite time or at an unspecified future time
“he longed for the flowers that were yet to show themselves”
despite anything to the contrary (usually preceding a concession)
“although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it”
