Edo period
Taishō period
ja:彼女
ja:松村明

First appears in writing in the late Edo period as a compound of 彼の (kano, ano, “that”) + 女 (onna, “woman”) with the reading kano onna or ano onna, simply meaning “that woman”. The kanojo reading arose by replacing the kun'yomi reading of onna for the second character with its on'yomi of jo. The first written appearance of the kanojo reading is in 1876, in the 改正画引小学読本 (Kaisei Gakubiki Shōgaku Dokuhon, “Revised Stroke-ordered Elementary-school Reader”). The first clear use of this term as a pronoun is around 1888, arising out of influence from Western works. The kanojo reading became more common and replaced kano onna and ano onna during the Taishō period (1912-1926).

informant

LL-Q1860 (eng)-I learned some phrases-informant.wav

The only material the linguist has to begin with are the informant's grammatical utterances in the target language pronounced arbitrarily in a natural or assigned communicative situation or stimulated artificially by the investigator.

1977, A. E. Kibrik, The methodology of field investigations in linguistics:

The informant learns his language by formal training and, more importantly, by constant exposure to its use. He cannot repeat to the linguist what he has never seen or heard.

2003, Sergei Nirenburg, H. L. Somers, Yorick Wilks, Readings in machine translation, page 116:

(linguistics) A native speaker who acts as a linguistic reference for a language being studied. The informant demonstrates native pronunciation, provides grammaticality judgments regarding linguistic well-formedness, and may also explain cultural references and other important contextual information.

Greek: κακός (kakós)

Mariupol Greek: како́с (kakós)

The origin is unknown, with multiple theories proposed:
* From a Proto-Indo-European *kaḱ-, *knḱ- (“slight”), and related to Avestan 𐬐𐬀𐬯𐬎 (kasu, “small, slight”).
* From Proto-Indo-European *kenk- (“to burn, hunger, desire”), and related to Lithuanian keñkti (“to do harm, ache”), Proto-Germanic *hungruz (“hunger”).
* From Pre-Greek.
* Possibly connected with Proto-Indo-European *kakka- (“to defecate”); compare κακκάω (kakkáō, “id”).
See also Phrygian κακον (kakon, “harm”), which was borrowed from Greek, and Albanian keq (“bad”).

grc-adecl

Latin: -phila

From Proto-Hellenic *pʰílos, traditionally derived from from Proto-Indo-European *bʰil-o-s, from *bʰil- (“decent, good, harmonious, friendly”). In this case, cognate with Old Irish bil (“good, mild”) and Proto-Germanic *biliz (“kind, gentle; decent, fair”), whence Old English bile- (“kind, suitable, appropriate”, prefix), German billig (“appropriate, fitting, inexpensive, cheap”), and Dutch billijk (“appropriate”).
However, Beekes rejects the above etymology based on the original meaning of the Greek word apparently being "own, accompanying" rather than "beloved", and leaves the origin open.

On the long time line of the so-human search for a profound and lasting happiness, many of us will still have our romances. Of the senses and the mind. We will have our spring dances, our candlelight dinners, our Valentine’s Days, our ear when we need to talk, our moonlit hand-holdings, our horizon gazings. our car rides in sensual silence.

Valentine’s Day is a time for love and affection. I do not know anyone who wants to spend Valentine’s Day alone. I love to spend my Valentine’s Days with the person I am dating or my family. I love buying and giving gifts during this holiday but the most important thing is being with the people I care about and love. [F, Diary]

lolicon

en-noun

lolicon (usually uncountable, plural lolicons)

Borrowed from Japanese ロリコン (rorikon), clipping of ロリータ・コンプレックス (“Lolita complex”), culturally adapted from the 1966 American academic thesis of the same name that had its name by Russell Trainer, of itself taken from the Vladimir Nabokov novel Lolita and English complex (not from English Lolita complex, which comes from the Japanese term). Lolita comes from Spanish Lolita, diminutive of Lola, from the given name Dolores. By surface analysis, loli + -con (“abnormal sexual attraction”).

From Middle English enamouren, a late back-formation from enamoured, itself a partial calque of Old French enamore, past participle of enamorer, enamourer, equivalent to prefix en- + amor + -er. See amour, and compare inamorato.

Me-thought I was enamoured of an Asse.

1596, William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act IV, Scene I:

By Phœbus, here's a moſt neate fine ſtreete; is't not? I proteſt to thee, I am enamord of this ſtreete now, more then of halfe the ſtreetes of Rome, againe; tis ſo polite, and terſe; [...]

1601, Ben Jonson, Poetaster or The Arraignment: […], London: […] [R. Bradock] for M[atthew] L[ownes] […], published 1602, →OCLC, Act III:

He was offered a chair in the university and a course abroad. But he hesitated. There was a girl of whom he became enamored, so he contemplated marriage and political activity.

1900, Leo Tolstoy, chapter 86, in William E. Smith, transl., The Awakening: The Resurrection:

(mostly in the passive, followed by "of" or "with") To cause to be in love.

en-noun

From arbitrary first element + -ence. Coined by American psychologist Dorothy Tennov in 1979 as an arbitrary euphonious replacement or alteration of amorance.

coin

I first used the term ‘amorance’ then changed it back to ‘limerence’ […]. It has no roots whatsoever. It looks nice. It works well in French. Take it from me it has no etymology whatsoever.

1977 September 11, Dorothy Tennov, The Observer:

When someone is under the spell of limerence, not even being rejected dampens down the madness.

2003 December 14, Andrew G Marshall, The Observer:

But limerence, lovely as it feels, is a time-limited event—it lasts about five years for most couples.

2010, Alyson Schafer, Breaking the Good mom Myth:

Limerence is a state of overwhelming and unexpected longing for emotional reciprocation from another human, known as a limerent object (LO), who is often perceived as perfect but unavailable.

2024 January 27, Amanda McCracken, The New York Times:

(psychology) An involuntary romantic infatuation with another person, especially combined with an overwhelming, obsessive need to have one's feelings reciprocated.

Hearing such words as these, in the sweetest, tenderest voice that ever caressed a lover's senses, Basil knew not how to word all that was in his heart. . . . Side by side, forgetful of all but their recovered peace, they talked sweet nothings.

1904, George Gissing, chapter 28, in Veranilda:

[T]he facts, to make matters worse, were made public with the usual affectionate letters that passed between them, full of sweet nothings.

1922 February, James Joyce, “[Episode 16]”, in Ulysses, Paris: Shakespeare and Company, […], →OCLC:

It is difficult to know how accurate this portrait is, and how much of it consists of sweet nothings whispered into the author's ear by loyal retainers.

2004 April 25, Joe Klein, “Does Bush Really Get Us?”, in Time, archived from the original on 2010-11-03:

(idiomatic) Insubstantial or romantic words that are only meant to flatter, woo, or seduce.

soulmate

From soul + mate. First attested as soul-mate in a 1822 letter by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Not in common usage before the 1980s.

Finding your wonderful soulmate is very similar to the process of sowing a seed and nurturing it into a beautiful blossoming plant.

2012, Ulli Springett, Tara Springett, Soulmate Relationships: How to find, keep and understand your perfect partner, Hachette UK, →ISBN:

I'm all over the place, I can't sit in one place / I'm not ashamed at all / Still findin' myself, let alone a soulmate, I'm just sayin'

more enamored (comparative)
most enamored (superlative)

Inherited from Middle English enamoured, a partial calque of Old French enamore, past participle of enamorer, enamourer; compare amour and enamor, enamour.

She's enamored of [or with] her new boyfriend.

During the 1980s, its vivid streetlife became a symbol of the “consumer socialism” that distinguished Hungary from other Eastern Bloc states, but Budapesters today are rather less enamoured of Váci: dressed-to-kill babes and their sugar daddies would rather pose in malls, and teenagers can find McDonald's anywhere, leaving Váci utterly dependent on tourists for its livelihood and bustle.
