Etymology
1. 1748, from Fr.
caricature, from It.
caricatura "satirical picture," lit. "an overloading," from
caricare "to load, exaggerate," from V.L.
carricare (see charge). The It. form had been used in Eng. from c.1682.
2. Borrowed from French caricature, from Italian caricatùra, ultimately from Latin carrus, and so not related to character, which is instead ultimately from Ancient Greek χαρακτήρ (kharaktḗr, “type, nature, character”). See: French '
caricature'.
