Common Errors In English Usage Dictionarry:
“Hypocritical” has a narrow, very specific meaning.
It describes behavior or speech that is intended
to make one look better or more pious than one really is.
It is often wrongly used
to label people who are merely narrow-minded
or genuinely pious.
Do not confuse this word with “hypercritical,”
which describes people who are picky.
American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language:
hy·poth′e·ca′tion n.
hy·poth′e·ca′tor n.
