Explanation

Impetuous means rash or hasty, while caution is carefulness - they are opposites showing lack vs. presence of a quality. Similarly, excessive means too much while moderation is the quality of being moderate or controlled - they show the same opposite relationship. Arduous:easy, impassive:diligent, and ingenuous:fake don't show this clear opposite pairing.
