I like this week's theme: word possessing (seemingly) opposite meanings.
I have a dispute with today's choice, continuance.
The second definition (An adjournment of a court proceeding to a future day), although on the surface appears to be a contradiction, actually means "an agreement by all to continue on another day". So it is not really in opposition.
