EnglishAntonyms
- Aflagitious
- Bexecrable
- Cadmirable
- Dabominable
Explanation
‘Nefarious’ means wicked, villainous or criminal in character. ‘Flagitious’, ‘execrable’ and ‘abominable’ are all synonyms meaning detestable or morally bad. ‘Admirable’ means deserving respect and approval — the direct opposite of wicked. Therefore admirable is the antonym.
