The six letter code word {([])} can mean two English words that are opposites. What are the two words?

This problem appeared in THE DAILY TEASE ezine.

There are more than two words that can be formed from the six letter code, but the two English words that are "opposite" are casual and formal.

The additional words I found can also, with a little reach, be considered "opposites". The cormel is a small solid swollen underground bulb-shaped stem, and its "opposite" would be the underground rodent, aka, the chewer (the "predator" and the "prey").
