该词直接借自怯语satire，但却是源于拉丁语satura。古罗马人用该拉丁词指杂烩，尤指用来祭神的“什锦水果色拉”。后来由于satura一度被误认为和希腊神话里的森林之神Satyr有关系，词形就逐渐变为satira，词义也发生了演变，开始用以喻指“（汇集各种题材的作品于一卷的）诗文杂集”（miscellany），再往后又转指“（鞭鞑愚昧和恶习的）讽刺杂咏”，16世纪satire在英语出现时，就用于此义，但现多用班表示“讽刺”或“讽刺作品”。

小知识

Satire is a way of making fun of people by using silly or exaggerated language. Politicians are easy targets for satire, especially when they're acting self-righteous or hypocritical.

Even though the ridiculous language of satire isn't intended to be taken seriously, well-made satire can use mockery to get at more serious truths. Sometimes satire can even overtake reality: when the television sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live presented a mock debate between Al Gore and George W. Bush during the 2000 presidential campaign season, the satire was so dead-on that it influenced the way people thought of the candidates.
