The love for everything that lives
some time ago I stumbled across a latin or greek word meaning 'love for everything that lives'. Stupidly I didnt write it down and now I cant remember what it was or where I read it. This sucks, I cant stop thinking about it. Do you happen do have any idea? I want my word back.

Argh, it's on the tip of my tongue as well. 5 or 6 letters long, starts with a vowel, something like 'umori', but that isn't it. Does that sound close enough for someone to take it the final step?
Also, I think it was the name of an alien character in the Piers Anthony "Apprentice Adept" series (Split Infinity # Blue Adept # Juxtaposition # Out of Phaze), if that helps anyone.

Actually Im not so sure about Namaste anymore. Maybe I just thought it was Greek because of the context... namaste. Namaste. Anyway I did expect my mind to go 'click' as soon as I would read it again, but its not happening with this one. damn. Last edited by harry; 05-03-2006 at 10:01 AM.. |

God, those ancient Greeks had a word for everything.
philoloidoria - love of abuse graosobês - lover of old women philophilia - love of one's friends philooinia - love of wine philtris - name of a supposedly self-moving stone used as a love-charm paidomania - mad love of boys Ok, the last came as no surprise. Quote:
I want a philtris. |

OK, I have the word I was looking for, hope it is yours as well:
Agape (ah-gah-peh), meaning "unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another, as: the fatherly concern of God for humankind; the brotherly concern for others".
