Words with the word love in them

Most common words emphasized in bold.

Below is a massive list of love words — that is, words related to love. The top 4 are: lover, passion, beloved and adore. You can get the definition(s) of a word in the list below by tapping the question-mark icon next to it. The words at the top of the list are the ones most associated with love, and as you go down the relatedness becomes more slight. By default, the words are sorted by relevance/relatedness, but you can also get the most common love terms by using the menu below, and there’s also the option to sort the words alphabetically so you can get love words starting with a particular letter. You can also filter the word list so it only shows words that are also related to another word of your choosing. So for example, you could enter «lover» and click «filter», and it’d give you words that are related to love and lover.

You can highlight the terms by the frequency with which they occur in the written English language using the menu below. The frequency data is extracted from the English Wikipedia corpus, and updated regularly. If you just care about the words’ direct semantic similarity to love, then there’s probably no need for this.

There are already a bunch of websites on the net that help you find synonyms for various words, but only a handful that help you find related, or even loosely associated words. So although you might see some synonyms of love in the list below, many of the words below will have other relationships with love — you could see a word with the exact opposite meaning in the word list, for example. So it’s the sort of list that would be useful for helping you build a love vocabulary list, or just a general love word list for whatever purpose, but it’s not necessarily going to be useful if you’re looking for words that mean the same thing as love (though it still might be handy for that).

If you’re looking for names related to love (e.g. business names, or pet names), this page might help you come up with ideas. The results below obviously aren’t all going to be applicable for the actual name of your pet/blog/startup/etc., but hopefully they get your mind working and help you see the links between various concepts. If your pet/blog/etc. has something to do with love, then it’s obviously a good idea to use concepts or words to do with love.

If you don’t find what you’re looking for in the list below, or if there’s some sort of bug and it’s not displaying love related words, please send me feedback using this page. Thanks for using the site — I hope it is useful to you! 🐛

Variations On The Word Love

This is a word we use to plug

holes with. It’s the right size for those warm

blanks in speech, for those red heart-

shaped vacancies on the page that look nothing

like real hearts. Add lace

and you can sell

it. We insert it also in the one empty

space on the printed form

that comes with no instructions. There are whole

magazines with not much in them

but the word love, you can

rub it all over your body and you

can cook with it too. How do we know

it isn’t what goes on at the cool

debaucheries of slugs under damp

pieces of cardboard? As for the weed-

seedlings nosing their tough snouts up

among the lettuces, they shout it.

Love! Love! sing the soldiers, raising

their glittering knives in salute.

Then there’s the two

of us. This word

is far too short for us, it has only

four letters, too sparse

to fill those deep bare

vacuums between the stars

that press on us with their deafness.

It’s not love we don’t wish

to fall into, but that fear.

this word is not enough but it will

have to do. It’s a single

vowel in this metallic

silence, a mouth that says

O again and again in wonder

and pain, a breath, a finger

grip on a cliffside. You can

hold on or let go.
