what is an opposite word for insidious?

Question

what is the antonoym of insidous?

Answer 1

As far as I can tell there is not one. Not all words have antonyms.

in·sid·i·ous /ɪnˈsɪdiəs/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[in-sid-ee-uhs] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–adjective 1. intended to entrap or beguile: an insidious plan.
2. stealthily treacherous or deceitful: an insidious enemy.
3. operating or proceeding in an inconspicuous or seemingly harmless way but actually with grave effect: an insidious disease.

Honest, open, truthful, etc are not antonyms. For example, you could not say and honest disease as an opposite for an insidious disease.

Upon further review, I would have to admit straighforward is an antonym.

The extremely weird, bizarre, erroneous and, frankly, insane responses to this question are the reason why so very few with any genuine knowledge come to forums like this for intellectual stimulation. I may never do so again. I did, however, post a link on several academic sites and "hot lines" so my colleagues could examine some of the insanity and absurd error in these answers... The level of true, pure, unadulterated ignorance in Yahoo Q&A, especially several of the answers to this question, precisely the opposite of the agreed upon truth of ALL valid scholars, from ALL political points on the right/left compass, on the subject, is absolutely startling. It is hard to believe this level of raw stupidity even exists. You don't hear this sort of slobber mouthed, senseless madness in Europe, where these events actually transpired. They KNOW better. And they are not bent by sixty years of maniacal Cold War propaganda, trying to expunge evil from the fringes of the ultra right. Just as "Nationalist" in some party titles means NOTHING, so "socialist" in the N.S.D.A.P. title not only doesn't MEAN ANYTHING, as Hitler, Goebbels, Streicher, and others laboriously explained, it was part of the propaganda war, and they were NEVER socialist or leftist as usually understood. And ALL the researchers agree! It looks as if some folks have responded from the world of the real, instead of the ridiculous propaganda trash espoused by "brave" and some of the other erroneous/propagandized "answerers". But here are the facts, the proven facts, univerally recognized by ever single authority on that government and that era: You need to read Shirer, Toland, Bullock, and of course, Mein Kampf. Hitler makes the party's conservative/reactionary nature VERY clear, and only imbeciles fail to understand their vicious, nationalistic right wing orientation. As Eisenhower so uniquely understood, there were already in 1945 deniers and revisers who attempt, deviously and for the most cynical reasons, to distort who these scum were and what they actually did, and even to deny the Holocaust itself, despite MILLIONS of witnesses. Not surprisingly, Goebbels' "big lie" is shared in common with the American ultra-right of this very day. They were the most severe and dangerous right wing, reactionary fascists, not leftists, and their "socialism" was a trap word. They never nationalized a SINGLE industry, and the goofy crackpots who identify them with the other side of the spectrum aren't just WRONG, they're insidious and dangerous fraud perpetrators. Hitler himself makes that identity very clear, and he never varied from it. The first goal of Nazism was "lebensraum" (living room), and for that reason and out of political necessity, the most dangerous enemy, clearly identified in MEIN KAMPF, was the Soviet Union, although from 8/'39 to 6/'41, the destruction of government-based Communism, socialism, and the Russian people was back-burnered while the Reich serviced other priorities, first Poland, and conquered or occupied Western Europe, after absorbing Bohemia and Austria and subjugating Czechoslovakia. The Holocaust--racial murder of civilians--was less than half of the killing. At least 25, and probably closer to 32 million, were killed as a result of their activities in the five and one half years of World War II. Stalin, of course, was in power for almost thirty years, and much of the death associated with him was starvation during the revolution, in areas over which the Bolsheviks had no control, anyway. The illiterate in the United States, guided by the malignant and fraudulent hand of our own pernicious fascist right wing, do not seem to understand what the valid literature makes VERY clear: The Nazi Party was aligned with the Krupps, Blohm und Voss, Steyr-Daimler Puch, AEG, Heinkel, and the old Junker class of the very wealthy. Volkswagen, the " people's car", was likewise organized as a capitalist corporation! Again: this is all documented in thousands of sources, it is NOT even controversial, despite some of the moronic ravings in here. Nazis embraced ALL the trappings of the right, and of traditional power. They were anti-union, and fought socialists and Communists in the streets for over a decade before they took power. Indeed, on the various lists of persons to be liquidated--the "nacht und nabel" names--liberals and left wingers ranked WAY above the religious and racial minorities. The filthy lie that absurdly attempts to associate them with liberal Europe is worse than insane, it is planted by new day fascists who basically want to restore this most degenerate movement and feel the need to paint it very differently than it truly WAS. The Beer Hall Putsch was just one of many such overthrows in Germany, but it was the best publicized. Hitler wrote MEIN KAMPF primarily while imprisoned at Landsberg, and began to solicit money from big companies immediately upon his release. I've studied that period for over fifty years. And I have done so with meaningful and scholarly sources, not latter day garbled propaganda. Shirer, in RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH, details the early history of the party, and why that word "socialist" has NOTHING WHATEVER TO DO with the left wing. Mussolini used the same term, as "corporate socialism", to define who actually benefited from the fascist states--the corporations! Private enterprise! All the literature is unanimous. The were, like the present ultra-right wingers in the Republican Party, very much nationalistic, racist, and autocratic. Their allies were the other right wing dictatorships: Italy, Japan, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, etc., etc., and there were many racist countries in South America who were very cozy with the Nazis, but never committed to the war. It's all well established in the genuine literature, not the lunatic flake propaganda of today's FOURTH REICH neocon maniacs.
