Etymology
The word antimonopolistic starts with anti- meaning 'against' and contains monopoly, which means 'one seller' or 'one company in control of a market'. So, antimonopolistic describes rules or actions that oppose or try to stop a single company from taking over a market and that protect competition and consumers.
