It's the basis for many English words related to love, such as:
* Amatory: Relating to sexual love.
* Amorous: Showing or expressing love.
* Amiable: Having or showing a friendly and pleasant manner.
* Inimical: Hostile, unfriendly. (This one is more complex, but ultimately derives from "in" (not) + "amicus" (friend), which comes from the same root as "amo".)
