Meaning
To vow is to make a solemn promise or commitment, often invoking a sense of moral or ethical obligation, typically characterized by a formal declaration of intent to uphold a specific principle, action, or belief.
💡 While "vow" can be used in both personal and public contexts, it is often associated with significant commitments, such as marriage or religious pledges, and should not be confused with casual promises or informal agreements.
