ironía 24
In rhetoric it is an expression that is used as a mockery or contempt by naming something by pretending to say something else, or mentioning some characteristic opposite to that expected. Also the affected tone of voice with which it is said. By extension, it is any situation where something unexpected happens and opposite to what we assume should happen. Spanish inherits the word from Latin, which takes it from the Greek 949; 953; 961; 969; 957; 949; 953; 945; ( eironeía "to speak simulating ignorance") .
