The terms opposite sides and opposite angles come up first with parallelograms.

After the theorems about properties of a parallelogram are studied, then the converse of those theorems come up with a beginning of If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congrent (or related in some other way) then, blah, blah, blah.

In loose terms, the opposite sides of parallelograms and quadrilaterals have no points in common as opposed to "adjacent sides" of a parallelogram or quadrilateral.

Opposite angles of parallelograms and quadrilaterals have no sides in common, once again, as opposed to "adjacent angles" of a parallelogram or quadrilateral.
