The art of saying no with enough conviction that someone writes it down.
means The act or stance of resisting, disagreeing with, or positioning yourself against a person, plan, or force.
from From Latin 'oppositio,' built from 'ob-' (against) plus 'ponere' (to place) — literally 'placed against.' The same 'ponere' root gives us 'position,' 'propose,' and 'compose,' so opposition is, quite literally, the thing set down directly across from you.
