Opposed to or rejecting romantic ideals, sentimentality, or the conventions of romantic love.
From anti- (against) + romantic. Romantic comes from romance, ultimately from Latin Romanicus. The term became prominent in the 19th century as a countermovement to Romanticism.
The Romantics celebrated emotion and nature, but antiromantic thinkers said 'actually, let's be practical and logical'—it's basically the difference between someone who writes poetry and someone who insists poetry is a waste of time.
