Although the words derisory and derisive share similar roots they have different core meanings. Derisory usually means 'ridiculously small or inadequate'， as in a derisory pay offer or the security arrangements were derisory. Derisive, on the other hand， is used to mean 'showing contempt'， as in he gave a derisive laugh.
