Ran across this word while reading David Denby’s excellent review of Clint Eastwood’s career. Was instantly struck by a certain elegance and the clear Latin root.
- n., \in-am-uh-RAH-tuh\, a female lover or love interest
Seems like a word apropos of Elle Driver’s fetish for gargantuan.
I’ve always liked that word… “inamorata”… so rarely have an opportunity to use it in a sentence.
