Obverse

Postby justscience » Sun Feb 06, 2022 4:09 pm

The primary viewing side of something with two sides, such as the heads side of a coin. Most flags have obverse and reverse sides. Also used to distinguish an opposite counterpart or complement, e.g., the obverse of love is indifference.

Interesting; would indifference be the obverse to hate, too?
