English Language & Usage Asked by a dedicated person on April 14, 2021
When I say something like "John is a dedicated person", does it only make sense if there is a specific cause or person that John is dedicated to, or can we say it in the same manner as "John is a brave person" (that is, having the word "dedicated" describe a general trait of the person, independent of any specific cause)?
Lexico defines it as Devoted to a task or purpose. It gives the example ‘a team of dedicated doctors.’
So no, it's not a general trait of the person.
