No. We trace "hypocrite" to the Greek word for "actor," from which we derive our current meaning of one who pretends to be what he is not or one who pretends to have principles or beliefs that he does not have.The Hippocratic Oath, on the other hand, takes its name from the Greek physician Hippocrates, often called the father of medicine, who lived from about 460 B.C. to about 377 B.C. Although some people joke bitterly that the Hippocratic Oath is hypocritical, anyone who has attended a medical school graduation at which newly graduated physicians take this Oath will sense the seriousness and passion that medical people feel for the sentiments it expresses.
