Travesty
<trah-ves-tee>
farce; sham; satire;
an absurd and inferior imitation of something.
The painting became a travesty when she added clowns. It was no longer serious art.
Memory trick:
we traverse away when something is badly done.
At work:
We prevented the new product from becoming a travesty by doing research. The new version was better than the old.
