Term
The word satire comes from the
Latin phrase
satura lanx meaning "medley, dish of colorful fruits."
Quintilian believed the genre to be a "wholly Roman phenomenon" (
satura tota nostra est). This derivation properly has nothing to do with the
Greek mythological figure
satyr[3].
.^ After Quintilian's day satura began to be used metaphorically to designate works that were "satirical" in tone but not in form.

Robert Elliott wrote:
- "As soon as a noun enters the domain of metaphor, as one modern scholar has pointed out, it clamours for extension; and satura (which had had no verbal, adverbial, or adjectival forms) was immediately broadened by appropriation from the Greek word for “satyr” (satyros) and its derivatives. The odd result is that the English “satire” comes from the Latin satura; but “satirize,” “satiric,” etc., are of Greek origin. By about the 4th century AD the writer of satires came to be known as satyricus; St. Jerome, for example, was called by one of his enemies 'a satirist in prose' ('satyricus scriptor in prosa'). Subsequent orthographic modifications obscured the Latin origin of the word satire: satura becomes satyra, and in England, by the 16th century, it was written 'satyre.'"[4]

Victorian era and
Edwardian period, such as
Punch and
Fun.

- He may wear a merry laugh upon his lip,
- But his laughter has an echo that is grim!"

Satirical prophecy
Satire is occasionally prophetic: the jokes precede actual events.
[37][38] Among the eminent examples are:
- the 1784 presageing of modern Daylight saving time, later actually proposed in 1907. While an American envoy to France, Benjamin Franklin anonymously published a letter in 1784 suggesting that Parisians economize on candles by arising earlier to use morning sunlight.[39]
- In the 1920s an English cartoonist imagined a very laughable thing for that time: a hotel for cars. He drew a multi-story car park.[38]
- The second episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus, which debuted in 1969, featured a skit entitled "The Mouse Problem" (meant to satirize drugs) which depicted a cultural phenomenon eerily similar to modern furry fandom (which did not become widespread until the 1980s, over a decade after the skit was first aired)
- In January, 2001, A satirical news article on The Onion, entitled " [2] Our Long National Nightmare of Peace and Prosperity Is Finally Over" had newly-elected President George Bush vowing to "develop new and expensive weapons technologies" and to "engage in at least one Gulf War-level armed conflict in the next four years." Furthermore he would "bring back economic stagnation by implementing substantial tax cuts, which would lead to a recession" Furthermore, the article predicts the "deregulation of ... industries, and the defunding of .... social-service programs" as well as a return to deficit spending.
.^ The article is incredibly favorable to satire's ability to claim fair use from both a legal perspective and the general cultural perspective of protected speech.
