Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Phil = love और anthrop = mankind — मानव से प्रेम, यानी philanthropy। यही phil philosophy (wisdom से love) और bibliophile (book lover) में है। उल्टा misanthropy — मानव से घृणा।

Phil means love and anthrop means mankind, so philanthropy is love for mankind, shown by helping those in need. The same 'phil' appears in philosophy (love of wisdom) and bibliophile (a lover of books). Its opposite is misanthropy, hatred of mankind.

Exam note

Antonym में सीधा उल्टा misanthropy आता है। करने वाला philanthropist; synonym में charity, benevolence, generosity।

Antonym questions give misanthropy as the direct opposite. The doer is a philanthropist, and charity, benevolence and generosity work as synonyms.
