Is there a finance term meaning "opposite of leverage"? Insurance maybe? (in sense that you own an asset "more" than 100% by insuring it)

Sure, for a debt-financed vehicle like a house, equity-holder (homeowner) is leveraged > 1, while debt-holder (bank) is leveraged < 1

I think I'm trying to get at an even stronger notion of "opposite of leverage" in the spirit of antifragile

That's like asking about the opposite of velocity.
A fishing pole has leverage, and a spanner has too, the only difference is the ratio.

The opposite of velocity is obviously depth of rootedness.

Maybe different direction: thinking opposite could be fixed ownership value and variable debt value. Haven't thought this through...
