I don't know the puzzle but could it be "mockery"? Presumably not "meiosis" = litotes=ironic understatement e.g. not very nice weather.

It must be 'mordant' - not seen that for a long time.

P.S. I thought of AB's "mordant" too, though it really ought to be a noun & not an adjective ("wit")!

Thought (and think) so too, but presumed if "sarcasm" fitted with other "a" then "mordant" might too.

Are you sure about the "l"? Ought to be something like Fascism (excuse that word).
