What does DEVOUT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Deeply religious and faithful in observing prayer and worship, or sincerely committed to a cause or belief.
Devout describes a person whose faith shapes ordinary life, not just Sunday habits. It shares a root with devote, and the link shows in the sense of someone who has given themselves wholly to something. Outside religion the word is used a little playfully, as in a devout fan of a sports team, and in that use it points to loyalty rather than prayer.
