Definition
Relating to or characteristic of antiphrasis, which is a rhetorical device using words in a sense opposite to their literal meaning.
Etymology
From Greek 'anti' (against) + 'pastikos' (relating to emotions or rhetorical devices), ultimately derived from 'pathos.' The term describes the technique of saying the opposite of what you mean for effect.
Kelly Says
This is the linguistic ancestor of sarcasm—when someone says 'Oh great, another Monday' on a day things are going terribly, they're using antipastic language to express frustration through ironic reversal!
