If you want to know the meaning of the word "antonym," use a dictionary. A thesaurus contains synonyms, and sometimes antonyms. So you might be able to use a thesaurus if you want to know the antonym of a word. Better yet, go to a search engine like Google.com and type in something like 'antonym of bad," or whatever you want the antonym of, without the quotation marks.
