Facetious

/fəˈsiːʃəs/ adjective

Treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; being flippant or not taking something seriously when seriousness is warranted. Joking when the situation calls for gravity.

From Latin facetia, meaning 'jest' or 'witticism,' derived from facetus (witty, elegant). Originally described refined wit, but evolved to describe inappropriate or ill-timed humor, especially when seriousness is expected.
