Antipode \An"ti*pode\, n.
One of the antipodes; anything exactly opposite.
[1913 Webster]
In tale or history your beggar is ever the just
antipode to your king. --Lamb.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The singular, antipode, is exceptional in formation,
but has been used by good writers. Its regular English
plural would be [a^]n"t[i^]*p[=o]des, the last syllable
rhyming with abodes, and this pronunciation is
sometimes heard. The plural form (originally a Latin
word without a singular) is in common use, and is
pronounced, after the English method of Latin,
[a^]n*t[i^]p"[-o]*d[=e]z.
[1913 Webster]
