liebe

/ˈɫib/ noun

sex; sexual relations; sexual intercourse

Word Origin Liebe is the German word for love, and it comes from the same Proto-Germanic root that gave English 'love' and 'lief' (dear). The PIE root *leubh- 'to love, desire' also gives us libido (desire) and believe (originally 'to hold dear, trust'). So liebe and love are siblings, and the root is all about what we hold dear.
