Usage: A person is called a dissembler with reference to his
concealment of his real character, and a hypocrite
with reference to his assumption of a false character.

used to characterize a person who is habitually
insincere and false, especially one who makes
professions of goodness when his aims are selfish and
his life corrupt.
