Yes. But it is not related to opposite (completely different). It is more closely related to the grammar term appositive (a restatement designed to clarify, e.g. Her sister Gloria). The term is used infrequently because of its similarity to the more popular term (opposite).

It means apt, appropriate, or pertinent.

Example: His speech was an apposite closing to his campaign.
