He made me an offer so I made him a counteroffer.
When a counteroffer is made, the original offer is typically considered rejected and no longer valid.
the difference between offer and counteroffer
A counteroffer. This occurs when the offeree proposes different terms than what was originally offered by the offeror, essentially rejecting the initial offer and making a new offer instead.
Technically, the offeror is not making a counteroffer ... s/he is merely making another offer since the first was rejected. So, yes, an offeror can make another offer even though the first was rejected.
A response to an offer to enter into a contract which acts as a refusal of the original offer and introduces a new offer or one with different terms and conditions.

In most jurisdictions it is treated as a rejection of the original offer. And in the UK and US it is then always treated as a new offer.
I believe that counteroffer is a unique word with no antonyms or synonyms.
The outcomes of an offer typically include acceptance, rejection, or counteroffer. Acceptance leads to a binding agreement, while rejection ends the negotiation process. A counteroffer indicates a desire to modify the terms, which can lead to further negotiation. Additionally, offers may expire if not acted upon within a specified timeframe.
An offer can come to an end in five primary ways: Acceptance: The offer is accepted by the offeree, resulting in a binding contract. Rejection: The offeree rejects the offer, which terminates it. Counteroffer: The offeree makes a counteroffer, effectively rejecting the original offer. Lapse of Time: The offer expires after a specified time period or a reasonable time if no period is specified. Revocation: The offeror withdraws the offer before it is accepted, provided the offeree has not already relied on it.
