Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Devious, deviate जैसा है — सीधे रास्ते से भटकना। Devious व्यक्ति कभी सीधा, ईमानदार रास्ता नहीं लेता; टेढ़ी, छिपी चालों से काम निकालता है।

Devious is close to deviate, to wander off the straight road. A devious person never takes the straight, honest path; he gets his way by crooked, hidden tricks.
