Read the paragraph. As a novice, the new nurse spent the first two weeks at work shadowing an experienced nurse who was an expert in his specialty. After the two weeks, the nurse no longer felt like a beginner and was confident enough to begin seeing patients on his own. Which word is an antonym for novice ?
A novice is someone who is new or inexperienced at something. An expert is highly skilled and experienced, so “expert” is the antonym of novice; “beginner” is a synonym.
