An"ti*pode (&?;), n. One of the antipodes; anything exactly opposite.

In tale or history your beggar is ever the just antipode to your king.
Lamb.

&fist; The singular, antipode, is exceptional in formation, but has been used by good writers. Its regular English plural would be ăn"t&ibreve;*pōdes, the last syllable rhyming with abodes, and this pronunciation is sometimes heard. The plural form (originally a Latin word without a singular) is in common use, and is pronounced, after the English method of Latin, ăn*t&ibreve;p"&osl;*dēz.
