公元1200年左右, devocioun,"深刻的宗教情感,敬畏,崇敬",源自古法语 devocion "虔诚,虔敬",直接源自拉丁语 devotionem(主格 devotio),动作名词,来自过去分词词干 devovere "通过誓约奉献,承诺庄严",由 de "向下,离开"(参见 de-)+ vovere "发誓"(参见 vow(名词))组成。从14世纪后期开始,通常指"宗教崇拜行为,宗教锻炼"(现在通常指 devotions)。
在古代拉丁语中,指"通过誓约奉献的行为",也指"忠诚,效忠,忠诚"; 在教会拉丁语中,指"对上帝的虔诚,虔敬"。这个词在世俗场合的应用通过意大利语和法语传入英语; 指"将某物分离或奉献的行为"的意义始于公元1500年左右。
