If you mean \"passion\" (in the sense of erotic passion, desire), you could also use the word :
IΜΕΡΟΣ
Ίμερος
ίμερος
The word \"amor\" is Latin, not English, to mean LOVE, PASSION, DESIRE.
All modern Western words starting with \"ero-/erot-/eroto-) derive from the Ancient Greek word \"Έρως\". This was also the name of the Ancient Greek winged God of Love. |
