Crossword Genius

The incongruity of sarcasm (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irony

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'the incongruity' is the first definition.
(irony is a kind of incongruity)

'sarcasm' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for irony that I've seen before include "Satirical speech form" , "What "as clear as mud" demonstrates" , "Sarcastic humour" , "style of humour" , "like a metallic element" .)
