Read this story to remember this word:

In a kingdom famed for its banquets and bardic tales, there lived a jester with an acerbic tongue, whose sharp wit cut closer to the truth than the swords of knights. Her jests, laced with the venom of honesty, spared no lord, lady, nor even the king himself. Yet, it was this very acerbity that endeared her to the heart of the populace, for in her words they found the courage to face the follies of their leaders. Through her, the kingdom learned that true insight often comes not in the form of sugar-coated words but as the acerbic truths that challenge us to grow, a testament to the power of honesty in a world draped in the finery of deceit.
