Couch in terms of antitheses (4)
I believe the answer is:
sofa
'couch' is the definition.
('sofa' can be a synonym of 'couch')
'in terms of antitheses' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'SOFA' is hidden within 'terms of antitheses'.
(Other definitions for sofa that I've seen before include "Chesterfield, maybe" , "Oafs (anag.)" , "Lounge" , "Comfy piece of furniture" , "Area for sitting" .)
