People who are very dedicated or enthusiastic followers of a religion, cause, person, or activity.
From French 'dévot' and Latin 'devotus,' past participle of 'devovere' meaning 'to dedicate or consecrate.' Originally referring to religious devotion, it expanded to any passionate commitment.
The concept of 'devotees' reveals how humans channel intense loyalty—whether to sports teams, musicians, or ideologies, we unconsciously mimic religious devotion structures, suggesting our brains are wired to commit passionately to something beyond ourselves.
