Definition of Sarcasm. Sarcasm is derived from French word sarcasmor and also from a Greek word sarkazein that means âtear fleshâ or âgrind the teethâ. Somehow, in simple words it means to speak bitterly. Generally, the literal meaning is different than what the speaker intends to say through sarcasm.
Long experience of someone or something can make one so aware of the faults as to be scornful. For example, Ten years at the same job and now he hates it-familiarity breeds contempt. The idea is much older, but the first recorded use of this expression was in Chaucer's Tale of Melibee (c. 1386).
