But on the contrary (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whereas

'but on the contrary' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for whereas that I've seen before include "Considering that" , "But on the contrary" , "On the other hand" , "In contrast with the fact that" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
