What's the difference between hypo and hypothetical?

Hypo


Definition:

  • (n.) Hypochondria.

Hypothetical


Definition:

  • (a.) Characterized by, or of the nature of, an hypothesis; conditional; assumed without proof, for the purpose of reasoning and deducing proof, or of accounting for some fact or phenomenon.
