What is meaning of root word amo?

The root word "amo" is Latin and means "love" or "to love".

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".)
