Pronunciation: /traj-i-dee-VO-shun/

Sentence: Jerry thought that his date Sandra was going to cry — she had complained about her bad day all through dinner, spilled wine on her dress, and then, while leaving the restaurant, she'd twisted her ankle. "But at least I have you. You're the only good thing in my life," she said, obviously seeking tragedevotion, as Jerry carried her down the street. He thought that Sandra was a klutz, and he found her helplessness rather pitiful, but oddly enough her ploy was working, and now he was more attracted to her than ever.

Etymology: Tragedy - a drama characterized by disasterous events (from Greek, tragodia "a dramatic poem") + Devotion - ardent affection and dedication (ancient Latin, devotionem "dedication by a vow")
