    The word "comedy" is derived from the Classical Greek komoidía, which is a compound of  kômos (revel) and oide (singing). Comedy is a literary genre and a type of dramatic work that is amusing and satirical in its tone, mostly having a cheerful ending. The motif of this dramatic work is triumph over unpleasant circumstance by creating comic effects, resulting in a happy or successful conclusion.
