What are the opposite words for keeping?
Keeping refers to the act of storing or holding onto something. Some antonyms of the word keeping include letting go, releasing, relinquishing, and surrendering. Letting go indicates a sense of freedom or detachment from something that was being held onto. Releasing is similar to letting go, but suggests a deliberate and planned action. Relinquishing highlights the act of giving up control or ownership of something. Surrendering implies willingly giving up something that was being held onto, often for the sake of peace or compromise. Overall, these antonyms suggest a departure from the idea of keeping, and openness to new possibilities and experiences.
