Opposites" refer to things that are completely different from each other in some particular way. In other words, opposites are two entities that are as different from each other as possible within a certain context. For example, black and white are opposite colors because they stand at extreme ends of the color spectrum with black absorbing all colors and white reflecting them. Another example is hot and cold, where hot represents high temperatures and cold represents low temperatures. The concept of opposites is related to the idea of binary oppositions or dichotomies, which is common in various fields such as linguistics, logic, and philosophy.
