  Hypocrite \Hyp"o*crite\, n. [F., fr. L. hypocrita, Gr. ? one who
     plays a part on the stage, a dissembler, feigner. See
     {Hypocrisy}.]
     One who plays a part; especially, one who, for the purpose of
     winning approbation of favor, puts on a fair outside seeming;
     one who feigns to be other and better than he is; a false
     pretender to virtue or piety; one who simulates virtue or
     piety.
     [1913 Webster]
  
           The hypocrite's hope shall perish.       --Job viii.
                                                    13.
     [1913 Webster]
  
           I dare swear he is no hypocrite, but prays from his
           heart.                                   --Shak.
  
     Syn: Deceiver; pretender; cheat.
