记忆方法
将“devout”分解为“de”和“vout”。联想“de”意味着“去掉”或者“不”，而“vout”可以联想到“vote”（投票）。想象一个在神圣的场合下非常虔诚的人，他们“去掉”了个人意见，完全“投票”给信仰，表达出他们的虔诚。这种方法通过将单词拆分并创造一个故事来帮助记忆。

英语词源
- devout

devout: [13] Essentially, devout and devote [16] are the same word; they come from an identical source, but reached English along different routes. That source is dēvōtus, the past participle of Latin dēvovēre, which was a compound formed from the intensive prefix dē- and vovēre ‘promise’ (source of English vote and vow). This entered English originally via Old French devot as an adjective, and was then reborrowed directly from Latin in the 16th century as the basis for a verb.
=> devote, vote, vow - devout (adj.)
- early 13c., from Old French devot "pious, devoted, assiduous," from Latin devotus "given up by vow, devoted," past participle of devovere "dedicate by vow" (see devotion).
