What are the opposite words for whole?
Antonyms for the word "whole" include "part," "fraction," "piece," and "incomplete." When something is not whole, it means it is missing a part or is not complete. For example, a broken vase is no longer whole because it is missing a piece, while a piece of a puzzle is not whole because it is only a fraction of the complete picture. The opposite of whole can also mean inconsistent or lacking, as in an incomplete story that leaves out important details. Its antonyms highlight the importance of completeness in descriptions or ideas, emphasizing the notion that something that is whole, complete, and consistent is generally preferable over anything that is not.
