See 愛しい in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: [ito̞ɕii]
Etymology: /itoːɕiː/ → /itoɕiː/ Sound shift from 愛(いと)おしい (itooshii), in turn derived from verb 厭う (itou, “to detest, to loathe, to hate”), from an underlying idea of causing mental anguish. The sense developed from the way that missing someone or something can cause mental anguish, giving rise to the modern meaning of dear. First attested in a text from 1518.

The sense developed from the way that missing someone or something can cause mental anguish, giving rise to the modern meaning of dear.\nFirst attested in a text from 1518.",
