Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Miso = hate, anthrop = मानव (anthropology में भी)। मानव से hate करने वाला misanthrope; उलटा philanthropist।

Split it: MIS(O) = hate, ANTHROP = mankind (as in anthropology, the study of humans). A misanthrope hates mankind. Its opposite is the philanthropist, who loves mankind.

Exam note

Misanthrope का ठीक उलटा philanthropist है; miso family में misogynist और misogamist भी हैं।

The exact opposite offered is philanthropist; the 'miso' family also includes misogynist (hater of women) and misogamist (hater of marriage).
