focuses on technology that counteracts or neutralizes gravity effects

Surface Forms

antigrav positive

Morphology

antigrav = antigravity (semi-transparent) = anti + gravity

The clipped form is recognisable as a shortened version of 'antigravity', but the truncation makes the structure slightly less transparent.

Etymology

Antigrav comes from the parts anti- 'against' and grav — the same root as gravity, which 'pulls things down'. So antigrav describes technology that works 'against gravity' to lift or let things float.
