Relating to or characteristic of an amator (lover or student of something); showing the qualities of a lover or devotee.
From Latin 'amatorial' or 'amatorius,' derived from 'amator' (lover, admirer, from 'amare,' to love), this adjective emphasizes the passionate student or enthusiast aspect.
Unlike 'amateurish' (which suggests incompetence), 'amatorial' comes from the nobler sense of 'amateur'—someone who does something for love—like calling yourself an 'amator of fine wine' rather than a snob.
