Adversary
Did You Know?
Noun
If you've ever had someone turn on you
and become your adversary,
you've inadvertently lived out the etymology of adversary.
The word is from the Latin adjective adversarius ("turnedtoward"
or "antagonistictoward"),
which in turn can be traced back to the verb advertere,
meaning "to turn to."
"Advertere" itself derives from ad- and vertere ("turn"),
and "vertere" is the sourceof a number of English words.
Along with obvious derivativeslike
"inadvertently" and "adverse" are some surprises,
such as "anniversary," "prose," and "vertebra," among others.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary

and the antagonist is the opposing one.
Pro- and ant- usually mark the good and bad characters, but not always; there may occasionally be an evil protagonistand a good antagonist.
In the drama of the real world, it's especially hard to sort out
whichis which, so we usually speak of
both parties to a conflict as antagonists.
During a strike, for example,
representatives of laborand management become antagonists;
they often manage to antagonize each other,
and the antagonism often remainsafter the strike is over.
