former has another meaning too. so former and latter are also antonyms.

Question:
Directions: Find the word which is opposite in meaning to the given word.
Former
Options:
A) earlier
B) Later
C) Resultant
D) erstwhile
Solution:
Ans: (b) Later

Former is used to describe someone who used to have a particular job, position, or role, but no longer has it.

Eg: The unemployed executives include former sales managers, directors and accountants.

       He pleaded not guilty to murdering his former wife.

We use later to  refer to a time or  situation that is after the one that you have been talking about or after the  present one.

Eg: He resigned ten years later.

     I'll join you later.
