Definition
Plural of antagonism; active opposition, conflict, or the state of being opposed to something or someone.
Etymology
From Greek 'antagonistes' (opponent), from 'anti-' (against) + 'agonistes' (contestant). Entered English in the 16th century from Greek philosophical and medical terminology.
Kelly Says
The word 'antagonism' comes from the Greek word for contestant in games, which reveals that ancient Greeks saw conflict as almost a structured competition—like an agon, their word for dramatic struggle!
