In the root amor means "love". The word amorous means affectionate. The affectionate means loving. The word amorous means word or glances that show love. Borrowed from Middle French, from Latin amor "love". A root is a word (a morpheme), from which other words grow, usually adding prefixes or suffixes. Latin is the most common source of English root words.
