- 1嘲諷的
Derisive describes the laugh, the look, the comment, or the tone that shows you think someone or something is stupid or silly. A derisive snort, a derisive remark, a derisive smile: the word hangs on the thing that carries the mockery. It is a describing word, a little formal, more at home in stories and news than in casual chat. Be careful with a nearby word, derisory. In British English especially, a derisory offer often means an offer so small it is almost a joke — the amount is what is silly, not necessarily your face. Derisive is about the scorn in how you speak or look. People mix the two, and even newspapers slip.
組成From the stem of Latin dērīdeō ('to deride') + -ive, an ending that turns it into a describing word: 'full of that mocking'.
