OP Jackie posted a good site yesterday on the cliche thread. There was a link there for autoantonyms, which we have referred to here in the past as contronyms.
Here is the group of autoantonyms/contronyms listed on the site, a nice list to have at hand:
autoanytonyms
contranyms
contronyms
antilogies
Janus words
enantiodromes
I don't know how many of these we've used here, but I did recognize contronyms.
I don't think you'd find enantiodrome on a search, but try some other forms. (enantiodromia, enantiodromic ;-)
