Have you ever found a word and learned that it meant the opposite of what you remembered?

If so, you may have come across a contronym.

Contronyms are words which have two meanings, both contradictory to each other.

The next time you see a word that confuses you, remember that simple words can have opposite or multiple meanings, and that this depends on both its dictionary definition and the context in which it is used.
