What are the opposite words for profusion?
Profusion is a word used to describe an abundance or large quantity of something. Antonyms for this word include scarcity, dearth, paucity, and deficiency. When there is a scarcity, there is a shortage of something, or it is in short supply. Dearth, on the other hand, refers to a scarcity or insufficient supply of something. Paucity is used to describe an extremely small amount of something or a lack thereof, while deficiency refers to a lack or insufficiency. These antonyms are useful in describing situations where there is a lack of something or where there is a limited supply, in contrast to the abundance represented by the word "profusion".
