Morphology

antispace = space (transparent) = anti + space

The meaning is directly compositional: anti- plus space conveys a counterpart or opposite of ordinary space.

Etymology

Antispace comes from anti- meaning 'opposite' and space meaning 'area' or 'outer space'. So in science fiction and theory it is a 'space' that is the opposite or counterpart of our normal space, like a parallel universe or a place reached through a portal.
