"Verbose is to concise as unscrupulous is to principled."
This analogy highlights the contrast between two pairs of words:
- **Verbose** and **concise** are opposites. While "verbose" means using more words than necessary, "concise" means being brief and to the point[6][10].
- Similarly, **unscrupulous** and **principled** are opposites. "Unscrupulous" means having or showing no moral principles; not honest or fair, whereas "principled" means acting in accordance with morality and showing recognition of right and wrong[1][2][5].
In essence, the relationship between each pair is that of antonyms—words with opposite meanings.
