Characterized by or filled with devotion; showing dedicated commitment to a belief or person.
Formed from 'devotion' plus '-ate' suffix (used to create adjectives meaning 'having the quality of'). The base 'devotion' comes from Latin 'devotio,' originally meaning a vow or solemn promise.
This word is almost entirely obsolete today—you won't find it in modern dictionaries—but it shows how English once tried out multiple '-ate' ending adjectives to describe the same concept before settling on 'devoted' as the standard form.
