CARICATURE, kår-îk-a-tshire'. 461.

This word, though not in Johnson, I have not scrupled to insert, from its frequent and legitimate use. Baretti tells us, that the literal sense of this word is certa quantita di munizione che si mette nell' archiuso o altro, which in English, signifies the charge of a gun: but its metaphorical signification, and the only one in which the English use it, is, as he tells us, dichesi anche di ritratto ridicolo in cui sensi grandemente accresciute i diffetti, when applied to paintings, chiefly portraits, that heightening of some features and lowering others, which we call in English overcharging, and which will make a very ugly picture, not unlike a handsome person: whence any exaggerated character, which is redundant in some of its parts, and defective in others, is called a Caricature.
