New York City From Dr. Bill, this link to Richard Lederer's page on words containing their own synonyms. The letters can be separated, but must be in order.

London, UK I have just been looking at this old thread. There are a surprising number of other "kangaroo words". Here is another containing both a synonym and an antonym:
fabrication – fiction [synonym]
fabrication – fact [antonym]
Other kangaroo words I have come up with:
ungainly – ugly
cornet – cone
gigantic – giant
traitor – rat
indolent – idle
stellar – star
discourteous – curt
median – mean
regulate – rule
education – Eton
routine – rote
enthusiast – nut
eliminate – mate (in chess)
Wordsmith – wit, worth
absorbing – boring [antonym]
