Loudly mocking characteristic of half-goat people (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satiric

I believe this is a double definition.

'loudly mocking' is the first definition.

'characteristic of half-goat people' is the second definition.
(like a Satyr from Greek mythology)

(Other definitions for satiric that I've seen before include "Using ridicule" , "Relating to sarcastic writing" , "Using mockery" , "with comedic content" , "Cynical" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
