\Phar"i*see\ (f[a^]r"[i^]*s[=e]), n. [L. Pharisaeus,
Gr. Farisai^os, from Heb. p[=a]rash to separate.]
One of a sect or party among the Jews, noted for a strict and
formal observance of rites and ceremonies and of the
traditions of the elders, and whose pretensions to superior
sanctity led them to separate themselves from the other Jews.
