The antonyms for "out spreads" are "retracts," "shrinks," and "contracts." These words indicate the opposite motion of out spreading, which is to draw inward or become smaller in size or extent. When something is retracted, it is pulled back, reduced or drawn in, and when it shrinks, it decreases in size or amount, either due to compression or reduction. Meanwhile, contracting means to become smaller or tighter. All three antonyms put emphasis on the idea of closing, reducing or limiting something that was previously extending, expanding or growing, which is the opposite of out spreading.
