1. 1

    Devout describes someone who takes their religion very seriously and practices it sincerely and regularly - a devout Buddhist, a devout Catholic. It's a word of respect, not criticism; it means someone's faith is deep and real to them, not just something they say. You can sometimes stretch it a little to non-religious things too, like 'a devout fan', meaning someone extremely loyal and serious about something, though the religious use is much more common.

    虔誠的
