Hippocratic
From Hull AWE
Hippocratic is a word commonly used in only one context: the Hippocratic oath.
This is the ethical oath that doctors swear. It is said to have been composed in its original Greek form by the Greek doctor Hippocrates (c.460-377 BCE), who is widely regarded as the first doctor in the modern sense. The word Hippocratic has nothing to do with hypocritical – apart from the sound, which is similar but not identical.
See also hypocrisy - hypocrite.
