Do English dictionaries give the antonyms of each word?

No. Not every word has an antonym. Dictionaries give the definitions and origins of the word. A thesaurus gives synonyms and antonyms but that is separate from a dictionary.Do English dictionaries give the antonyms of each word?
Many do, but not all. Generally, the more expensive a dictionary, the more additional features you purchase. Dictionary.com gives plenty of antonyms for words in case you're finding the print dictionaries a bit lacking.
