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")

There are more words for different types of snow than there are for different types of love. Your definition helped us create some other words, for the one, you defined so well. Thank you metro1!
