Pharisaism 【名】 偽善 ですか、、、この単語、はじめてみました。

聖書に出てきます「パリサイ人」から来ているのですね。

Pharisees 【名】
《the ~》〔古代ユダヤの〕パリサイ[ファリサイ]派◆書かれた律法(モーゼ五書)だけでなく口承律法(Oral Law)も厳密に守るように主張する、第二神殿時代のユダヤ教の集団。口承律法を守らないサドカイ派(Sadducees)とは対立していた。
pharisee=[ˈfær.ɪ.siː]
a person who thinks they are very religious, but who does not care about others

pharisaical 【形】 パリサイ人の、独善的な、偽善的な
◆紀元前後のユダヤ教の一派。イエス・キリストは同派の形式主義を批判、その使徒マタイも同派を偽善的と非難した

ありがとうございます。

意図していました答えは、

動詞形は、
plagiarize[/ˈpleɪ·dʒəˌrɑɪz]
