Words that sounds as if they mean the opposite

[CormoranStrike]

Sometimes words are just perfect - purring is exactly right for a cat, for example.

But some are so wrong. bucolic, meaning a beautiful countryside, sounds to me like something sickly and ill.

Any others?

Truncated because Trunks are long

I don't know why but 'haste' to me sounds like it means going slow!

Condone. I don't know why but it just sounds negative, maybe too close to condemn.

Raze. As in raze to the ground.

Spendthrift.

Should mean tightarse.

Nonplussed

Salubrious, it should mean dodgy and slimy and horrible

Sorry didn't explain- but to me, nonplussed sounds ambivalent, completely not fazed- certainly doesn't look like it means completely surprised and unsure of how to react

Ennervated.

Inflammable. (I know that's not exactly what you were after, but it is a misleading word!)

Inflammable. Sounds like it should mean it’s fire-proof. Never understood it.

Inflammable, it should mean the opposite of flammable.

Concur!

Heck Ffs

Sublime

Glad I’m not the only one

Veto. I can never remember if it means to reject or confirm but to me it sounds like it's confirm so I use it that way!

No brainer, as in, “option B is a no brainer”. So, it would be the preferred option of someone with no brain?

Another vote for 'spendthrift'. My brain struggles to accept it.

Spendthrift.

Should mean tightarse.

I thought of spendthrift, too.

Sorry. Wrong thread.

"Sanguine"
It's a positive adjective, no? I think it's used to compliment someone's adaptable and easy-going, easy-flowing nature. (I'm not sure)
....beacuse I can't see past slimy, warm blood!!

And lucked out - I always think it means your luck has run out, but it actually means you have been really lucky.
