What are the opposite words for power?
The concept of power can be approached from different angles, but it is commonly defined as the ability to control or influence others or achieve goals. However, there are several antonyms for this word that denote either a lack or a rejection of power. For instance, weakness, impotence or helplessness suggest a reduced capacity to act, whereas surrender, submission or compliance imply a relinquishing of one's own agency to another person or entity.
