词源：
hypocrisy (n.)c. 1200, ipocrisie, “the sin of pretending to virtue or goodness,” from Old French ypocrisie, from Late Latin hypocrisis “hypocrisy,” also “an imitation of a person’s speech and gestures,” from Attic Greek hypokrisis “acting on the stage; pretense,” metaphorically, “hypocrisy,” from hypokrinesthai “play a part, pretend,” also “answer,” from hypo- “under” (see hypo-) + middle voice of krinein “to sift, decide” (from PIE root *krei- “to sieve,” thus “discriminate, distinguish”). The sense evolution in Attic Greek is from “separate gradually” to “answer” to “answer a fellow actor on stage” to “play a part.” The h- was restored in English 16c.Hypocrisy is the art of affecting qualities for the purpose of pretending to an undeserved virtue. Because individuals and institutions and societies most often live down to the suspicions about them, hypocrisy and its accompanying equivocations underpin the conduct of life. Imagine how frightful truth unvarnished would be. [Benjamin F. Martin, “France in 1938,” 2005]Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
虚伪 (n.)c. 1200, ipocrisie，“假装美德或善良的罪孽”，源自古法语 ypocrisie，源自晚期拉丁语hypocrisis “虚伪”，也源自“模仿一个人的言语和手势”，源自阿提卡希腊语 hyperkrisis “在舞台上表演；假装，隐喻性地，“虚伪”，来自hypokrinesthai“扮演一个角色，假装”，也“回答”，来自hypo-“之下”（见hypo-）+ krinein的中间声音“筛选，决定”（来自PIE根） *krei-“筛分”，因此“区分、区分”）。阿提卡希腊语中的意义演变是从“逐渐分开”到“回答”到“回答舞台上的同伴”到“扮演一个角色”。 h-在英语16c中被恢复。虚伪是为了假装不值得的美德而影响品质的艺术。因为个人、机构和社会最常生活在对他们的怀疑中，虚伪及其随之而来的模棱两可支撑着生活的行为。想象一下，不加掩饰的真相将是多么可怕。 [本杰明·马丁 (Benjamin F. Martin)，“1938 年的法国”，2005 年]相关条目及更多
