The antonym of "proportions" is "disproportions." While "proportions" refers to the relative size, amount, or scale of different elements in a whole or system, "disproportions" details an imbalance or inequality in those same elements. A disproportionate size, for example, is larger or smaller than is appropriate for the context, while a disproportion in distribution may mean that certain elements are overrepresented or underrepresented in a given sample. The word "disproportions" is commonly used to describe situations in which there is an unfair or unjust distribution of resources, opportunities, or power, whether in politics, economics, or social relations.
