amoroso

/amoˈɾoso/ · B1 · adj

loving

💌 amor + -oso = full of love, like amorous in English

From Latin amor, love, plus the suffix -oso, meaning full of, as in famoso (full of fame). English amorous comes from the same root. Spanish uses it more broadly than English does, for any tender, loving manner.
