Everything about Antiphrasis totally explained

An antiphrasis (from Greek and Latin: anti, opposite, and phrasis, diction) is a figure of speech that's a word used to mean the opposite of its usual sense, especially ironically. Examples:
  • "He is but a youngster" (describing a middle-aged man)
  • "The past is strongest in its resurrection; but she'll have neither." (succumbing to nostalgia; from "Three-Fold Flowers" by Andrea Duerme)
