Step-by-step explanation:

If something is ironic it's unexpected, often in an amusing way. For example, you're the world chess champion, it would be pretty ironic if you lost a match to someone who just learned to play yesterday. Ironic is the adjective for the noun irony. In contemporary speech, when we call something ironic, we often mean sarcastic.
