Origin & History

From English farce + -ical; farce comes via French farce from Medieval Latin farcire (“to stuff”), originally referring to comic interludes “stuffed” into serious plays.

अंग्रेज़ी farce + -ical से बना; farce फ्रेंच farce के माध्यम से मध्यकालीन लैटिन farcire (“भरना/ठूँसना”) से आया—शुरू में गंभीर नाटकों के बीच “भरकर” डाले गए हास्य अंतराल के अर्थ में।

Definition

Something described as farcical is so foolish, unbelievable, or badly managed that it feels like a farce (a silly comedy), often highlighting incompetence or chaos.

'Farcical' वह स्थिति/घटना होती है जो इतनी बेतुकी, हास्यास्पद या अव्यवस्थित लगे कि वह 'फार्स' (हास्य-प्रहसन) जैसी प्रतीत हो—अक्सर इसमें अयोग्यता या अफरा-तफरी उजागर होती है।
