The term “devise” carries a rich and varied connotation in literary contexts, signifying everything from the act of creatively planning and inventing to formulating strategies and plotting intricate schemes. In works spanning antiquity to the modern era, it is employed to convey urgency in problem-solving—as when Plato’s text contemplates constructing a remedy in dire straits [1] or when Sunzi exhorts his commanders to contrive unfathomable plans [2]. Shakespeare and his contemporaries frequently imbue the term with a sense of cunning or crafty ingenuity, using it to highlight characters’ abilities to formulate both personal and political maneuvers [3], [4], [5], [6]. More broadly, “devise” emerges as a literary device underlining the imaginative process of constructing elaborate solutions or orchestrated narratives, thereby celebrating human ingenuity and resourcefulness in contexts ranging from strategic warfare to subtle, personal intrigues [7], [8], [9].
