1
to invent or plan something new
To think of and create a new plan, system, or way to do something.
사용 패턴：
to devise [a plan/method/solution/system]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes confuse "devise" (verb: to plan or invent) with "device" (noun: a machine or tool). Another mistake is using it without an object, e.g. saying *"We devised"* instead of *"We devised a plan"*. Also, remember the spelling: "devise" with an "s"; the noun "device" ends with "-ce".
유의어
invent (Emphasizes creating something completely new, especially objects or technology.)
|
design (Often used when planning the structure or features of something, especially products or systems.)
|
formulate (Sounds more formal and is often used with plans, theories, or policies.)
반의어
copy (Stresses not creating something new, but using an existing idea or model instead.)

to think up a scheme or plot
To make a secret or clever plan, often to do something bad or not fair.
사용 패턴：
to devise [a scheme/plot/way] to [do something]
자주 하는 실수：
Learners may use neutral verbs like "do" or "make" instead of a more precise verb like "devise" when they want to show that a plan was clever or secret. For example, *"They made a secret plan"* is correct but less natural and less strong than *"They devised a secret plan"*.
유의어
concoct (Often implies making up a dishonest plan, story, or excuse in a sneaky way.)
|
plot (Stresses secret planning, especially to harm someone or break rules or laws.)
|
engineer (Suggests carefully arranging events to produce a desired, sometimes unfair, outcome.)
반의어
foil (Means to stop or prevent a plan or plot from succeeding, so it opposes the idea of devising one.)

to leave real estate by will
In legal language, to give land or a building to someone when you die, by writing it in your will.
사용 패턴：
to devise [property] to [someone] in a will
자주 하는 실수：
Learners rarely need this technical legal sense. They may incorrectly assume "devise" here just means "plan". In legal documents, it is a fixed term meaning to transfer real property by will.
유의어
bequeath (General legal term for leaving property in a will; "devise" is more specific to real property such as land or buildings.)
반의어
inherit (Describes receiving property from someone who has died, the opposite side of the same legal transfer.)
