Contronyms are a combination of homonyms (words with similar spelling or pronunciation) and antonyms (words with opposite meaning). Left a) Left: Departed Eg, He left her sobbing at the airport. b) Left: What remains Eg, There is still a lot of food left in the kitchen.

I was working with Bank of America and now a tuition teacher

A contronym is a word with contradictory meanings. For example, dust is a verb that means “to remove dust from a surface,” but it can also mean “to cover lightly with a powdered substance.” I asked Ian to dust the furniture before he left.
