Yes, you are right, it is the opposite

it is the expression of an opposite view.
this particular word isn't a very commonly used word in English. we are more likely to make a sentence using 'the/an adverse view' or more likely 'the/an opposing view'

The reverse.
When you are 'adversative' you are rather opposing something.
When 2 things are 'adversative' they are contradictive, affirming the opposite or contrary of each other.
