Key Points

  • "Disparity" means a great difference or inequality between things (e.g., economic disparity, gender disparity).
  • Its antonym -- a word with the opposite meaning -- is "similarity," which means the state of being alike or resembling each other.
  • "Visibility" means the state of being visible, "vulgarity" means crudeness, and "humility" means modesty -- none of these are antonyms of disparity.
  • Similarity (closeness/resemblance) directly opposes the idea of disparity (difference/inequality).
