?Which word?
derisive or derisory?
Derisive means showing derision, mocking: 'derisive laughter'. Derisory means so small that it deserves derision: 'a derisory pay rise of fifty rupees'. Both come from deride, to mock.
Derisive का अर्थ 'उपहास दिखाने वाला, मज़ाक उड़ाने वाला' है, जैसे 'derisive laughter'। Derisory का अर्थ 'इतना छोटा कि उपहास के योग्य हो' है, जैसे 'a derisory pay rise of fifty rupees'। दोनों deride (मज़ाक उड़ाना) से बने हैं।
