Why this word is great
INAMORATO — [Noun] A male lover or gallant. From Italian innamorato, the masculine past participle of innamorare ("to inflame with love"), built from in- ("in") + amore ("love"). Unlike "suitor" (which implies courtship with marriage in mind) or "paramour" (which whispers of secrecy and scandal), "inamorato" is a word of open ardor, unburdened by obligation or shame. It is the young poet reciting verses under a balcony at midnight, the silk-gloved hand pressing a rose to lips in a crowded ballroom, the half-finished portrait left on an easel when the model and artist vanish into the garden—love as a fleeting, fevered act of devotion, not a contract. A relic of romance in an age of efficiency.
