Hypocritical pair confronted (3-5)
I believe the answer is:
two-faced
'hypocritical' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'pair confronted' is the wordplay.
'pair' becomes 'two' (a pair means two of something).
'confronted' becomes 'faced' ('face' can be a synonym of 'confront').
'two'+'faced'='TWO-FACED'
(Other definitions for two-faced that I've seen before include "Showing a double-sided visage to deceive" , "Perfidious" , "Deceitful, with double visage" , "Hypocritical, like Janus" , "Double-meaning" .)
