English Synonyms and AntonymsRate these synonyms:5.0 / 2 votes

love

Affection is kindly feeling, deep, tender, and constant, going out to some person or object, being less fervent and ardent than love, whether applied to persons or things. Love is an intense and absorbing emotion, drawing one toward a person or object and causing one to appreciate, delight in, and crave the presence or possession of the person or object loved, and to desire to please and benefit the person, or to advance the cause, truth, or other object of affection; it is the yearning or outgoing of soul toward something that is regarded as excellent, beautiful, or desirable; love may be briefly defined as strong and absorbing affection for and attraction toward a person or object. Love may denote the sublimest and holiest spiritual affection as when we are taught that «God is love.» Charity has so far swung aside from this original meaning that probably it never can be recalled (compare BENEVOLENCE). The Revised Version uses love in place of charity in 1 Cor. xiii, and elsewhere. Love is more intense, absorbing, and tender than friendship, more intense, impulsive, and perhaps passionate than affection; we speak of fervent love, but of deep or tender affection, or of close, firm, strong friendship. Love is used specifically for personal affection between the sexes in the highest sense, the love that normally leads to marriage, and subsists throughout all happy wedded life. Love can never properly denote mere animal passion, which is expressed by such words as appetite, desire, lust. One may properly be said to have love for animals, for inanimate objects, or for abstract qualities that enlist the affections, as we speak of love for a horse or a dog, for mountains, woods, ocean, or of love of nature, and love of virtue. Love of articles of food is better expressed by liking, as love, in its full sense, expresses something spiritual and reciprocal, such as can have no place in connection with objects that minister merely to the senses. Compare ATTACHMENT; FRIENDSHIP.

How to use love in a sentence?

Lesley Manville:

… You’re seeing real pockets of tenderness with how [the characters] are dealing with getting older and approaching that time of their lives, i always see Cathy and Michael at the center of it all, having this ‘will they, won’t they.’ Will this romance happen? Is it alright to be falling in love at this time in your life with your dead husband’s best friend? It’s very tenderly and delicately written, and I think people want to see a romance that is about two middle-aged people, rather than a romance with strapping young 20-somethings.
Maleah Davis:

People are entitled to however they think, to however they feel, to their own opinions, i know my truth. And I love my daughter unconditionally. I would never do anything like that.
De Havilland:

I had a great crush on him, eventually, he got one on me. It was inevitable to fall in love with him. He was so naughty and so charming.
Paresh Rawal:

We love Modi and worship him because he is the finest leader we have ever had.
Debasish Mridha, M.D.:

My purpose of writing is to express my love for you,
no matter, who you are, where you live or whatever you do.

What is the opposite of love?

It’s not ‘hate’:
Love involves people feeling strongly towards someone or something, and hate also involves people feeling strongly towards someone or something- it’s just that the intentions of the feelings are very different.

So then the opposite would be ‘apathy,’ which involves no feelings at all. Is this correct?

The answer is yes, you are both right. A word can, and usually does have, multiple opposites. In fact any word that has a similar meaning to a word X is in a sense an opposite to X. Difference is opposition, a relation of oppositeness.

answered May 26, 2014 at 16:39

Love is having strong emotions and wanting someone.

In a sense hate is your opposite because it means having strong emotions but not wanting someone.

If you want the opposites rolled into one word I would go with ambivalent which conveys someone you may love and hate.

If you want to travel the other side of the word vector, I would go with indifferent. Meaning you have no emotions towards a person.
