THE hypocritical word, oddly enough, it didn't have the pejorative connotation it has today. In ancient times, more precisely in ancient Greece, the hypocrite was a term given to an actor, a comedian or a histrião (among the ancient Romans, a jester or comedian who represented the popular farces of the time).
Of course, the pretense already existed around the word, but no. it was designed for evil and yes for the art of entertaining the public.
The Greek word hypokrisía, with or without the intermediation of the Latin hypocrisis, is defined according to the Saraiva dictionary as the Latin noun: “elocution, declamation; art, ability to imitate a person's speech, gestures and manners”.

The etymology, or study of the root and origin of a word, resounds even deeper roots of the hypocritical word: “interpreter of one. dream, of a vision, soothsayer, prophet”. This definition may suggest an allusion. to the negative meaning of the word nowadays, quackery and dissimulation.
The Greek term hypokrínomai, generally associated with. hypocritical word, is directly linked to plays, without the presence of. diviners or prophets. It derives from the word dialogue, in the interpretation of a play.

On the professional side, the hypocrite is a liar, he pulls the rug out. of professional colleagues just to be on top and “get along with the. boss,” even if it involves unfairly firing someone else.
The worst kind of professional is the one you base your life on. hypocrisy. In addition to the hypocrite creating a harmful environment for himself, he poisons the environment for others and sabotages the very company in which he is. works.
Generally, the hypocrite is known as an exhibitionist, e. as much as he tries, like a good actor, to hide his personality, his falsehood. ends up being noticed by others. When the hypocrite's mask falls off, he. he needs to “breathe new air”, jumping from branch to branch until he finds a new one. group that believes in their deceit.
The Suffering of. Hypocrite, according to Victor Hugo
The poet, writer and playwright Victor Hugo wrote the. following poem about the hypocrite:
“To have lied is to have. suffered. The hypocrite is a patient in the double sense of the word; calculates one. triumph and suffer an ordeal. The indefinite premeditation of a bad action, accompanied by doses of austerity, the inner infamy tempered by the excellent. reputation, deceiving continually, never being who you are, delusion, is one. fatigue. Compose candor with all the black elements working on. brain, wanting to devour those who worship him, caressing, holding back, repressing himself, always being alert, constantly spying, composing the face of latent crime, make a beauty out of deformity, make a perfection out of perversity, tickle with the dagger, put sugar in the poison, watch over the frankness of the gesture and. in the music of the voice, not having your own look, nothing more difficult, nothing more. painful. The hateful of hypocrisy begins darkly in the hypocrite. Cause. Nausea drink perpetually the imposture. The sweetness with which cunning disguises. wickedness repulses the wicked, continually obliged to bring this mixture into the. mouth, and there are moments of nausea when the hypocrite almost vomits his thought. Swallowing that saliva is a horrible thing. Add to this deep pride. There are strange times when the hypocrite esteems himself. There is an unreasonable self in the. impostor. The worm slides like the dragon and how it stiffens and rises. O. a traitor is no more than a stunted despot who cannot do his will. if not resigning to the second role. He is pettiness capable of enormity. O. hypocrite is a dwarf titan".
Victor Hugo, in “The Workers of the Sea”.
