Hello,

What is the antonym of ability?

Is it 'inability' or 'debility'?

Thanks in advance

Antonym of "ability": "inability"

"debility" is "weakness", "frailty"

Possible antonyms of "debility": "vigor", "strength", "healthiness"

If you are talking about water flow, the antonym of "running" is "stagnant".

I was wondering if maybe it could be also unability. As unable is the antonym of able.
