Wikipedia

Understatement

Understatement is an expression of lesser strength than what the speaker or writer actually means or than what is normally expected. It is the opposite of embellishment or exaggeration, and is used for emphasis, irony, hedging, or humor. A particular form of understatement using negative syntax is called litotes. This is not to be confused with euphemism, where a polite phrase is used in place of a harsher or more offensive expression.

Understatement may also be called underexaggeration to denote lesser enthusiasm. Understatement also merges the comic with the ironic, as in Mark Twain’s comment, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

Examples of use of UNDERSTATEMENT
1. With typical understatement, we did so discreetly.
2. This already looks like a considerable understatement.
3. To describe the disc as "mature" would be an understatement.
4. For many social conservatives, that is an understatement.
5. To say the house was big would be an understatement.
