Since Irish is the only European language mentioned that doesn't toe the "sarcast-" line, it might be worth noting that the fit between "sarcastic" and "tarcaisneach" is only approximate. "Taircaisneach" can easily express contempt or scorn without any of the ironic component. It is the adjectival form of the noun "tarcaisne", which is first attested in Middle Irish and might be the verbal noun of the "lost" verb "tarm-ad-cí", which is basically the common compound verb "ad-cí" (= sees) with the further preverb "tar" ("tarm" in composition), which means "across". Thus perhaps "looks askance at".

"skin flesh"? Now there's a semantic shift I wouldn't mind explained!

You and me both ... it's just as illogical to me. Maybe the word existed for years and just had kanji slammed onto it? Who knows. :: shrug ::

Neither me nor ever?
(these constructions are a pain in the butt for me)
