An antonym in a context clue can help a reader discover the meaning of a word by providing a contrast to the unknown word. When an antonym is used in the text, it presents an opposite meaning to the unknown word, thereby helping the reader infer the meaning of the unfamiliar word based on this contrast. By recognizing the relationship between the unknown word and its antonym, the reader can narrow down the possibilities and gain a better understanding of the word's meaning.
