Etymology of SATIRISE

The word satirise is derived from the noun satire. The term satire originates from the Latin word satura, which was used to describe a mixed dish of various fruits and vegetables.

In the literary context, satire came to represent a composition that mixed different elements (such as humor, wit, irony, and sarcasm) to critique or ridicule individuals, societies, or human vices. The verb form satirise is simply created by adding the suffix -ise to the noun satire.
