Devil’s Advocate ; 請問這是什麼意思?

- One who argues against a cause or position; someone who takes the worse side just for the sake of argument

The word "Devil's Advocate" actually comes from Canon Law. In the Vatican, when arguments are being presented to have a person declared a saint, the Church appoints an official to find flaws in this evidence. This official is called the "Devil's Advocate" and has come to mean a person who espouses a cause just for the sake of argument.

Sample Sentence: “I had to play devil’s advocate just to be certain that he was not going to change his mind about joining the organization.”
