"Opposition" is a word of Latin origin. More often used in a political context. Who is the opponent? To answer this question, it is worth watching any of the political shows that are regularly shown on television. The article examines the meaning of the word “opponent” and also provides its synonyms.

Opposition

Before answering the question of who an opponent is, it is worth considering the origins of this term. In a country whose political structure presupposes a multi-party system, the struggle for power is ongoing. But who the opponent was was known in ancient times. After all, as already mentioned, the word came into European languages ​​from Latin. But opposition sentiments reached their greatest peak during the bourgeois revolutions. Representatives of the working class, peasants, united in the fight against the existing regime. Who are the opponents? These are political opponents.

In Western countries, there are two varieties and a non-systemic one. The first type includes social democrats, liberals, members of Christian democrats and the second - groups whose members completely deny the value system that prevails in the country. But who is the opponent of the established regime? Not at all. This is a member of a party that denies the prevailing system, that is, an oppositionist. However, do not confuse the meanings of words with the same root.

Dispute

People at all times loved to argue. This is evidenced by the origin of the word “dispute”, which, like “opposition”, came into our speech from the Latin language. What does this term mean? A dispute is an argument. But not messy and emotional. This is a process that is subject to formal rules based on a careful analysis of the arguments of each of the disputants. Who are the opponents? This is often what participants in a political debate are called. An opponent is a person who objects to his opponent during a public debate.

Synonyms

The term "opponent" has several meanings. The first is discussed above. This is also the name given to an opponent of a particular idea, theory, or innovation. For example, they say “an opponent of the new law,” that is, a person who considers certain amendments to the bill to be incorrect. The synonym in this case is “enemy.”

Opponents are candidates for any post, politicians who are fighting during the election campaign. A synonym for the word “opponent” is “rival”. But this term is not always used when talking about politics. Opponents are also participants in any verbal competition. For example, rap battle, so popular today.
