Morphology

Antido = Ido (opaque) = anti + Ido

Although the form appears to be built from 'anti-' plus 'Ido', the resulting language name is not semantically transparent to an average learner.

Etymology

Antido looks like anti- 'against' plus Ido, the constructed language it was made as a different version of. So, Antido is an artificial language created as an alternative or opposing form of Ido, meant for international communication.
