    An Antonym is: Antonym

    But more seriously synonym comes from the latin stems:

    Syn- same (or together)

    Nym- name

    so very seriously, synonym is a synonym of synonym

    *others are metonym, equivalent, similar, same

    This question is asked virtually every day. The answer is simple. Not every word has a synonym. And synonym is one of those that do not.
