       The English word love has its origin in the old Germanic language lubojan (today lieben): from root of love.

         In Spanish the word “amor” comes from latin “amor” and has an indoeuropean root: amma: Amma babies call their mothers. I think that amma is an onomatopeic sound that shows up when the baby is breastfed.
