  • Antonym紛糾ふんきゅうWrittenWritten, formal word for disputes or confusion that drag on unresolved — the opposite of a matter settling once and for all.
  • Antonym混乱こんらんNeutralNeutral word for disorder or chaos; it stands at the opposite pole from 「落着」 in the sense of things calming down and being concluded.

For a matter being concluded, use 「解決」 or 「決着」; for one finally settling, say 「一件落着」. Use 「締めくくり」 for wrapping up, and 「紛糾」 when disputes drag on unresolved.
