I know there is a more detailed discription, but the best I can remember is that the term Arctic means "over water" and Antarctic means "not over water"(it covers a land mass). I remember reading it somewhere and wish I remembered it verbatim

It's the difference between arc and antarc, as in Atlas and Antiatlas.. the same but different. Antarctica is a land mass even though much of it is buried under snow and ice. The Arctic is just frozen ocean, with no land mass. So I guess that would be a main difference; they are both pretty chilly at times, long days and nights.

Actually - the arctic is the area around the North Pole, and the anrarctic is the area around the South Pole.
You know those circles at the top and bottom of the globe? That's them.
Antarctica is the continent.
