Opposite means on different sides, so the opposite would be 'the same'

Language often befuddles and complicates things. But the meaning of any word is its use in language. The opposite of opposite is a game, not a question. A riddle. A joke. To flesh out the answer, you'd have to talk about 'the thing in itself' as opposed the opposite. The best two answers are this 'What can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence' (Ludwig Wittgentstein) and this: no offense but the question is meaningless.

Well if you think really hard. Opposite means to be opposing to another.
SO then the opposite of opposite would be Same, synonomous, like.
Some word like that, or if you look at the word as it relates a set of words like "tall-short" then the opposite of opposite could be opposite.
Mind blown.
