What are the opposite words for tithes?
The word "tithes" refers to a percentage of a person's income or possessions that they give to their religious organization. Some antonyms for the word "tithes" might include "hoarding," "stinginess," or "selfishness," which all suggest a lack of generosity or willingness to share resources. Other antonyms might include terms like "keeping," "retaining," or "holding onto," which indicate a desire to keep one's possessions or income for oneself rather than giving them away. Ultimately, the concept of tithing is rooted in the idea of giving back to one's community or religious organization, so its antonyms often suggest the opposite approach of keeping or withholding resources.
