What is the difference between 夕立 and 朝立ち?


What is the difference between 夕立 and 朝立ち? They both refer to the kanji 立, and
have contrastive words 夕 (evening) and 朝 (morning). Are they antonyms, or is
there any difference between them?

分かりやすく教えてください。お願いします。




They're not antonyms. They're very different from each other. 立 on it's own
[means](http://www.romajidesu.com/kanji/%E7%AB%8B) to stand up, to erect and
stuff like that. When you use this Kanji in a word like in the case of
[朝立]{あさだ}ち which [means](http://www.romajidesu.com/dictionary/meaning-
of-%E6%9C%9D%E7%AB%8B%E3%81%A1.html) early morning erection, you can see how
the 立 fits into the word, i.e your manhood being erect.

In the other word [夕立]{ゆうだち} which
[means](http://www.romajidesu.com/dictionary/meaning-
of-%E5%A4%95%E7%AB%8B.html) sudden evening shower/rain, I don't know how the 立
fits in but yeah it's not close to meaning 朝立ち
