I wonder if there is a specific term for words which are opposites of more than word.
Admittedly I can only think of one such word 'right' which is the opposite of both 'left' and 'wrong'.
I would like to know if there is a term for this so I can look up some others.

A word that's the opposite of something else is an antonym:
A word that has multiple meanings is considered to be polysemous:
In linguistics, some words are said to have polysemy:
Therefore, it would be logical to assume that a word that combines both qualities is a polysemous antonym.
I was mostly sent on wild goose chases when I used Google to search for this.
However, I was able to find a reference to a book called Semantic Relations and the Lexicon: Antonymy, Synonymy and other Paradigms that actually does use this term:
Somebody with more specific linguistic resource knowledge would need to confirm this, but hopefully this gives you a direction to look in.
(Incidentally, that passage points to another example of the type of word you're looking for: light is the opposite of both dark and heavy—and douse.)
