Also means
iconoclastic
Usage Note
Dissacrante describes something that mocks or deflates what is traditionally sacred or venerated — a sharper term than irriverente. It appears often in cultural criticism: uno spettacolo dissacrante means a show that gleefully subverts tradition. The ending -e means the form is the same for masculine and feminine singular.
Examples
"Il suo umorismo dissacrante sorprese tutti."
Natural Translation
His irreverent humour surprised everyone.
