Duelistic

This is an open list, anyone can contribute.
[ feed | comment feed | cloud | sort:  alpha / order added ]
One-word oxymorons and dvandva (copulative compound (hot)) words with that contradictory, antonymic tension. Hyphens are fine, and neologisms are great, but I don't want any portmanteau words (I can't believe I'm typing that!) like chaordic, even if the general idea is 'opposite-unity'--exemplified by the uber-examples bittersweet and push-pull.
