The very opposite of Windsor? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eton

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'windsor?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'the very opposite of' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'en' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eton that I've seen before include "English college of note" , "Noted public school" , "Place for learning" , "College in Berkshire" , "Public school founded in 1440" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
