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
