If Pro and Con are opposites, then is the Constitution the opposite of Prostitution?

OK. That’s hysterical! Thank you.

How about Congress and progress?

Your welcome—I thought the nightly talking heads were discussing something about prostitution, but when ir actually caught my attention it turned out they were talking about the constitution. Then it occurred that the first three letters of both words are pro- and con-

protractor contractor
product conduct
procession, concession

The list is extensive

It is “pro” and “contra”.
Get your shit right.

Ridiculous Q!

@ragingloli is right. “Con” as in “pro and con” comes from “contra”, meaning “against”. The “con” in constitution, congress, etc. means “with” or “together”. The root -stitution comes from the Latin verb statuo, which means “I set up” (hence “statue” or “statute”), so a prostitute is someone who sets themselves up in public (the word is pretty far removed from its literal origin) and a constitution is something set up together.

I get the joke; just posting this in case anyone was curious :)

What does the opposite of prostitution really equate?? Anything??

Wouldn’t free love be the opposite of love for sale? Or maybe free hatred is the opposite of expensive love

profit confit

Congress
Progress

Yes.

Isn’t the opposite of PRO-stitution ANTI-stitution? How does “pro” relate to “anti”? If one is against prostitution are they anti-prostitutory? This is a PRO-blem. Or is it an ANTI-blem? Now, I’m really confused. But if I knew that about which I spoke, would I be anti-fused or simply confused? Anti-non-pro-confusing, isn’t it? I need sleep!
