Contronyms: Words with Opposite Meanings

Contronyms are words with opposite meanings. For example: прослушать.

By the way, for those who, like me, skipped all the Russian classes in school.

In addition to synonyms and antonyms, there are contronyms - words that have opposite meanings at the same time. For example: прослушать - to listen and hear nothing, or on the contrary, to listen to a lecture and become smart.
