Caricature met with rage (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satire

'caricature' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'met with rage' is the wordplay.
'met' becomes 'sat' (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'rage' becomes 'ire' (I've seen this before).
'sat'+'ire'='SATIRE'

(Other definitions for satire that I've seen before include "Jonathan Swift's forte?" , "Unkind piece of writing" , "Lampoon(ery)" , "Writings ridiculing vice and folly" , "Humerous literary ridicule" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
