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
