devotee

noun

Etymology: From devote + -ee. The narrowed meaning in sense 3 arises from the sound similarity with amputee.

1. An ardent enthusiast or admirer.

   “He was a devotee of Arnold Schwarzenegger.”

   “a devotee of classical music”

2. A believer in a particular religion or god.

   “devotees of Krishna”

   “devotees thronged the temple”

3. A person (almost exclusively a man) with a sexual attraction for people with physical disabilities, especially amputees.

   “The amputee-devotee community, consisting of women with amputations and the men sexually attracted to them, has been widely discussed within the disability community.”

   “He becomes involved in a story about a community of wannabes and devotees, those who desire to be sexually intimate with disabled bodies, and meets Fiona, an art conservator and wannabe, or disabled pretender.”
