In chemistry, antagonism is a phenomenon where two or more agents in combination have an overall effect which is less than the sum of their individual effects. The word is most commonly used in this fashion in biochemistry and toxicology. Interference in the physiological action of a chemical substance by another having a similar structure. For instance, a receptor antagonist is an agent that reduces the response that a ligand produces when it binds to a receptor on a cell. An example of this is the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist. The opposite of antagonism is synergy.
In phytopathology, antagonism refers to the suppression or interference with the normal growth of a plant pathogen by another microorganism, such as bacteria or fungi.
Antagonistic organisms are often introduced as biocontrols for plant diseases, either as concentrated inoculants or through the use of compost teas.

Antagonism is hostility that results in active resistance, opposition, or contentiousness.
Additionally, it may refer to:
- Antagonism (chemistry), where the involvement of multiple
agents reduce their overall effect
- Antagonism (philosophy), a principle, force or factor that is
an active resistance, opposition, or contentiousness
- Antagonism (pharmacology), when a substance binds to the
same site an agonist would bind to without causing
activation of the receptor
- Antagonism (phytopathology), the action of any microbes
that suppresses the activity of a plant pathogen.

If I were to antagonize you I would basically be a bully or do something to cause you to be angry or flustered.
An antiagonist is somewhat of an irritant. A person or thing that annoys or prods you.
Antagonism is the art of being annoying...

It's the opposite of protagonism. It is an opposing force.
