Origin

Early 16th century: from French, or from Latin satira, later form of satura 'poetic medley'.

saturnine from Late Middle English:
In medieval astrology the planet Saturn represented lead, and those born under its influence could expect to be gloomy, sluggish, and cold. Belief in planetary influence may no longer be scientific, but the description saturnine lives on. The planet takes its name from the Roman god Saturn, the equivalent of Greek Cronus or Kronos, who had been the supreme god until Zeus dethroned him. Saturday (Old English) was ‘the day of Saturn’ in Roman times. Satire (early 16th century) has no connection with Saturn, nor with satyrs. It comes from Latin satura ‘poetic medley’ later used in the modern sense, while where the Greeks got the term for the goatish satyrs (Late Middle English) is not known. See also jovial
