Bill is a noun that could mean money, but it also has an opposite.

Meaning the other side of the coin, if you will.

You want to have a $50 bill, but you do not want to get a bill for $50.

Sanction is one example that you will often hear in the news.

Sanction is either a punishment, as in the United Nations will impose sanctions on or ah, kind of official approval.

Critics say the policy lacked legal sanctions.

You can often tell the meaning of a country nim by thinking about the context that the word comes in.
