amorousness

/ˈæ.mə.ɹəs.nəs/ noun

The state or quality of being amorous.

Word Origin From Latin amor 'love' — amorousness is the state of being full of love. The root amare gives us a whole romantic vocabulary: paramour (literally 'by love', a lover), enamored (in love), and inamorata (a beloved woman). Even amateur comes from amare, originally meaning someone who does something for love, not money. So amorousness connects to both passion and hobby.
