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")

Pronunciation: fie-DELL-pit-tee

Sentence: After the 22nd time Mark's father had died in under two years, Dana realized she had to turn a deaf ear to his desperate pleas for fidelpity. She stormed out of his apartment, slamming the door behind her. Mark sat motionless on the couch, until he heard tires squealing away from the building. He stood, slowly, and walked to the bedroom. He strapped his right arm to his torso using an Ace bandage, carefully slipped into the Vietnam era Army fatigues he'd bought at the surplus store, and carefully applied the mohair mustache with spirit gum. After gently easing the wheelchair into the trunk, he headed to the Peppermint Hippo for a night of free lapdances.

Etymology: fidelity + pity
