Opposites in language or nature display traits that have reverse appearances. For example, clockwise is the opposite rotational direction of counterclockwise, hairy is the opposite of hairless, and rough is the opposite of smooth.
In mathematics, an additive opposite has the same absolute value but the opposite sign (positive or negative). The opposite of squaring a number is taking the square root. In each case, performing the opposite or inverse operation will restore the original value.

What is a quadrilateral that has a pair of opposite sides that are parallel?
If two opposite sides are parallel, but the other two sides are not, then it is a trapezoidal figure, or simply, 'Trapezoid'. However, it is called 'trapezium' in British English. The suffix "oid" has a definite meaning beyond mere language differences or understanding words fully. An "~oid" is a solid whose cross-section is a polygon.
