See amour in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /aˈmuːr/, /ˈamur/ Forms: amours [plural]
Etymology: Borrowed from Middle French amour, from Old French amor, from Latin amor. Sense 3 could be due to the influence of Middle French ameur (“lover”), from Old French ameor, from Latin amātor, but may instead be a semantic development from the first two senses; compare love (“love, lover”).
