For hypocrite, hard to get up to join in exercise (8)
I believe the answer is:
pharisee
'for hypocrite' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'hard to get up to join in exercise' is the wordplay.
'hard' becomes 'h' (abbreviation used in pencil classifications).
'to get up' becomes 'arise' (synonyms).
'to join in' indicates putting letters inside.
'exercise' becomes 'pe' (Physical Education).
'h'+'arise'='harise'
'harise' put into 'pe' is 'PHARISEE'.
(Other definitions for pharisee that I've seen before include "Strict observer" , "Strict Jew (hist.); hypocrite" , "Ancient Jewish sectarian" , "scribe's partner" , "Air sheep (anag.)" .)
