Something that opposes or acts against skepticism, or a substance that resists decay and kills germs.
From anti- (against) + sceptic (from Greek skeptikos, one who questions). The prefix anti- comes from Greek meaning 'against,' while sceptic derives from Greek skeptesthai meaning 'to examine or question.' This word combines these elements to mean either opposing the philosophy of skepticism or possessing germ-killing properties.
