As far as the verb is concerned, the meaning "fuck" arose via euphemism and has become the dominant sense.

amour

Inherited from Middle French amour, from Old French amor, from Latin amor. The regular phonetic development would be ameur, attested in Old French; there has probably been an influence from Old Occitan.

Ô mon Amour/ Mes pensées sont en voyage / Elles s’enroulent comme un ruban / O my love I’ve been searching / But I don’t know how / To find my way in the world without you

2008, Cécile Corbel (lyrics and music), “Where have you been”, in Songbook vol. 3 - renaissance (CD), Brittany: Keltia Musique:

O my Love / My thoughts are wandering / They wind like a ribbon / O my love I’ve been searching / But I don’t know how / To find my way in the world without you
