devotionally

/dɪˈvoʊʃənəɫli/ adv

In a devotional manner.

Word Origin From Latin devovere 'to vow, dedicate' — literally 'to vow down' (de- 'down' + vovere 'to vow'). The idea is a deep, solemn commitment. The root vot- (from vovere) also gives us vote (a formal expression of choice) and vow itself. The breakdown de+vot+ion+al+ly shows the layers: the act of devoting (devotion), then the adjective (devotional), then the adverb (devotionally). So doing something devotionally means doing it with that same dedicated spirit.
