Antipode

An′ti-pode

,
Noun.
One of the antipodes; anything exactly opposite.
In tale or history your beggar is ever the just
antipode
to your king.
Lamb.
☞ The singular, antipode, is exceptional in formation, but has been used by good writers. Its regular English plural would be
ăn′tĭ-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-tĭp′ō̍-dēz
.
