Meaning:

1. Speech: A formal spoken presentation or address given to an audience, often to convey ideas, arguments, or information. For example, a "discurso" can be a political speech, a public address, or a ceremonial talk.

2. Discourse: More broadly, it refers to communication or expression of ideas, either in written or spoken form, especially extended communication on a particular topic.

Parts:

Antonyms:

• There isn't a direct antonym, but words like silence (silencio) or quiet (quietud) could be considered as opposite concepts to a "discurso," as they imply the absence of speech or communication.
