ANTIPODE

ANTIPODE An "ti *pode, n.

 

Defn: One of the antipodes; anything exactly opposite. In tale or history your beggar is ever the just antipode to your king. Lamb.

 

Note: The singular, antipode, is exceptional in formation, but has been used by good writers. Its regular English plural would be ân "tî *podes, the last syllable rhyming with abodes, and this pronunciation is sometimes heard. The plural form (originally a Latin word without a singular ) is in common use, and is pronounced, after the English method of Latin, ân *tîp "o *dez.
