Anti
One who opposes
Anti means opposed to or against something.
It works as a prefix (anti-war, anti-establishment) or stands alone as a noun or adjective: She's not a supporter—she's an anti.
The prefix attaches freely to almost any word to indicate opposition or counteraction: antifreeze prevents freezing, antibiotics fight bacteria, an antihero lacks traditional heroic qualities.
