Hypercrite must certainly derive from similar roots of the word "hypocrite," which comes from the greek word hypokrinesthai,meaning "play a part" or "pretend."

As hypercrite must be the opposite of hypocrite, it follows that a hypercrite is one who is "not playing a part," or "not pretending."


Thus a hypercrite can be defined as a pseudo-pretender or anti-pretender. One who isn't pretending, though probably should be.
