Well, since this is a dating site, then I must add 'Eros'
Not strictly speaking used as an English word, but of course his statue is one of the most famous landmarks in London, so the word is pretty well-known as referring to LOVE.
The ancient Greeks had at least three other words for love, distinguishing in a way that English cannot, love's different aspects. Greek has a precision here which we cannot equal in English, even with detailed descriptions Hence we have:
???? (eros) = the sort of love we ought, one hopes to be concerned with on this site.
???p? (agape) = Implies unconditional love, not necessarily requiring any return.
f???a (philia) = More like 'friendship'
st???? (storge) = Something like familial love, eg. parents for children.
Of course 'philia' gives us the suffix '...phile' in English, which is well-known to us all.
