<syn>Syn. -- <er>Adversary</er>, <er>Enemy</er>, <er>Opponent</er>, <er>Antagonist</er>.</syn> <usage> <i>Enemy</i> is the only one of these words which necessarily implies a state of personal hostility. Men may be <i>adversaries</i>, <i>antagonists</i>, or <i>opponents</i> to each other in certain respects, and yet have no feelings of general animosity. An <i>adversary</i> may be simply one who is placed for a time in a hostile position, as in a lawsuit, an argument, in chess playing, or at fence. An <i>opponent</i> is one who is ranged against another (perhaps passively) on the opposing side; as a political <i>opponent</i>, an <i>opponent</i> in debate. An <i>antagonist</i> is one who struggles against another with active effort, either in a literal fight or in verbal debate.</usage>
