A woman whom one is
in love with; a mistress.
Inamorata comes from
Italian innamorata, feminine of innamorato, from the past participle of innamorare, "to inspire with love," from in- (from Latin) + amore, "love" (from Latin amor, from amare, "to love"). A man with whom one is
in love is an inamorato.
"If our lips should meet, innamorata, kiss me, kiss me sweet, innamorata,
Hold me close and say you'
re mine with a love as warm as wine.
I'm at heaven's
door, inamorata, want you more and more, inamorata.
You'
re a symphony, a very beautiful sonata, my inamorata,
Say you're my sweetheart, my love." - Frank Sinatra
