απέναντι
Lemma: απέναντι
Translation: opposite; across; facing (adverb)
Etymology: From Ancient Greek ἀπέναντι (apenanti), which is formed from the preposition ἀπό (apo, 'from, away from') and ἔναντι (enanti, 'opposite, against'). The component ἔναντι itself comes from ἐν (en, 'in') + ἀντί (anti, 'against, opposite'). The English cognate 'anti-' shares the same root, reflecting the concept of opposition or being positioned against something.
