Love or affection, especially romantic love; often used in classical or poetic contexts.
From Latin 'amor' meaning love, derived from the verb 'amare' meaning to love. The word entered English through Old French and has maintained its association with passionate or divine love throughout its evolution.
Amor is the Roman god of love, equivalent to the Greek Eros, and his name literally means 'love' in Latin. Interestingly, the phrase 'amor fati' coined by Nietzsche means 'love of fate' - the idea of accepting and embracing all aspects of life, both good and bad.
