Creates a sense of adventure, excitement, or beauty around something, or pursues a romantic relationship with someone.
From Old French 'romanz,' originally meaning a story written in the Romance language rather than Latin. These stories featured adventurous knights, so 'romance' came to mean the emotion itself.
Medieval writers literally created the emotion of 'romance' by writing exciting stories—the feeling didn't fully exist before literature invented it, which means humans accidentally engineered their own emotional experience.
