Showing or relating to love or sexual desire; inclined to love or affection.
From Latin 'amativus,' derived from 'amare' (to love), this word came into English through Romance language influence and has been used since at least the 16th century.
The word 'amative' fell mostly out of fashion in modern English, but when Victorian and Romantic poets used it, they could express erotic or passionate feelings while maintaining plausible deniability through 'poetic language.'
