Etymology : If someone makes a ridiculous remark about your risible muscles, he or she is not necessarily deriding your physique. Risible can also mean “associated with laughter,” so risible muscles can simply be the ones used for laughing. (You’ve also got a set of risorius muscles around your mouth that help you smile.) Next time you find something laughable, tip your hat to rid?re, the Latin verb meaning “to laugh” that gave us risible (and ridiculous and deride, by the way).
