Definition
Opposite in nature or direction; contradictory or at odds with something else.
Etymology
An archaic or rare adjective form from Latin 'contrarius' meaning 'opposite.' This form is less common than 'contrary' but carries the same etymological foundation.
Kelly Says
This is an older, more literary form of 'contrary'—you'll find it in Renaissance texts where writers wanted a more emphatic or elaborate sound for the concept of opposition.
