devout
Sincere in worship
Devout describes deep religious commitment and sincere piety: a devout Catholic, devout prayer.
The word extends to any earnest dedication: a devout follower of the team, a devout believer in free markets.
A devout wish or hope is heartfelt and fervent.
The religious sense remains primary, carrying connotations of genuine faith rather than mere observance.
