Question

what is the opposite to retract?

Answer 1

lol i think its protract

Answer 2

NikeSwag has it right. It's protract, which means to extend forward or outward.

Answer 3

depending on the usage of the word "retract", other possible opposites are :

corroborate, emphasize, reaffirm, repeat

Answer 4

In a legal or contractual sense, retracting something [statement, etc.] means "to no longer adhere to."

In that sense, two opposites appear:

First, to not retract (initially), would be ADHERE (TO) - or avidly maintain

Second, to reverse a retraction, would be to AFFIRM - or assert as valid

Again, NikeSwag correctly identified PROTRACT as the denotational antonym of retract:
Retract - to draw back or in
Protract - to extend forward or outward
