הלומד על מנת לקנטר is probably from that root of Contra -- arguing just for the sake of going against the other person. 'nuff said.
[very strange to me that ר' אליהו בחור doesn't cite the latin 'contra' in his entry on קנטר... wasn't he very close with a latin bishop or something?!... or maybe it was a greek orthodox priest.... have to look into that further].
