Curiosity

By: Andres Irribarra (Staff)

Ancient theater gave us a very interesting word.

Remember learning about the great Greek plays where actors performed wearing masks? From Ancient Greek ŭ́πο- (hypo-, “under”) + κρī́νω (krī́nō, “I pronounce”) we get ύποκρίνομαι (hypokrī́nomai, “to dialogue on stage”). Literally, to pronounce under (your mask!).

The latter verb gave form to ύποκριτής (hypokritḗs, “stage actor”) because those who dialogue on stage under their masks are… actors!

And we all know that actors are pretending… right? With the passing of time, those who pretend to be someone or something they are not earned the label of hypocrites ;)
