indirect antonym
An indirect antonym is a word that expresses an opposite meaning indirectly or non-linearly. These types of antonyms do not have a direct, absolute opposite meaning, but provide a contrast or differing perspective on a topic. For instance, 'to rent' is the indirect antonym of 'to buy' - rather than being absolute opposites, they offer different approaches to the concept of possession.
