satirically の語源・成り立ち Etymology
satirically は satire「風刺」に -ic、-al、-ly が重なった語で、satire はラテン語 satira「寄せ集め・雑多なもの」にさかのぼります。さまざまな材料を混ぜて欠点をあぶり出す感覚から、「風刺的に」という意味が育ちました。関連語に satire、satirize があります。
Satirically comes from satire, with the endings -ic, -al, and -ly added. Satire comes from Latin satira, which originally meant a mixed or varied dish, not a direct link to Greek satyrs as people once thought. From the idea of a varied mixture, it came to mean a literary form that combines sharp comment and mockery; satire and satirize are related words.
