obversely
From opposite side
Obversely means from the opposite or contrasting perspective—the flip side of an argument or situation.
It introduces a counterpoint that complements rather than contradicts: The recession hurt retailers; obversely, discount stores thrived.
The word is formal and relatively uncommon, appearing mostly in academic or analytical writing.
