The word 'hypocrite' has gone through several meanings. Let's start by counting on the Greek 965; 960; 959; 954; 961; 953; 964; 951; 962; ( hypocrites ) which is composed of the prefix 965; 960; 959; ( hiccups "below, low") 954; 961; 953; 957; 949; 953; 957; ( krinein "discern" ), and named the augurs that interpreted the dreams or messages of the gods; but then it spread to the actors, who played texts by playwrights. Only in the Middle Ages, through his Latin version hypocrite, he begins to lose his sense of "theatrical actor" to be a "phony, who pretends what he does not feel", which would be his current definition.
