What does PIETY mean in Scrabble?
noun
Deep respect for religion, shown through devoted practice and belief; also, more broadly, dutiful respect toward parents, tradition or one's country.
Piety describes a genuine, often quiet devotion to religious duty and belief, expressed through regular practice rather than mere words. The word can also apply outside religion, to a dutiful respect for one's family, elders or homeland, echoing its older sense of loyalty to what one owes others. Piety is sometimes used with a critical edge, to describe behaviour that only looks devout without real feeling behind it. Across its uses, piety centres on faithful duty rather than on belief alone.
How PIETY is used
Fairly formal; common in writing about religion, morality and, less often, family duty or patriotism.
