Deride De*ride", v. t. [imp. & p. p. Derided; p. pr. & vb. n. Deriding.] [L. deridere, derisum; de- + rid?re to laugh.

Sport that wrinkled Care derides. And Laughter holding both his sides. --Milton. Syn: To mock; laugh at; ridicule; insult; taunt; jeer; banter; rally. Usage: To Deride, Ridicule, Mock, Taunt. A man may ridicule without any unkindness of feeling; his object may be to correct; as, to ridicule the follies of the age.
