Greek

eros, a physical love, sexual and such; the root word is found in erotic.

philos, as in 'brotherly' love, love of Mankind, broader human relationships, clearly not sexual; the root word is found in ' Philadelphia'

agape, a really high relationship with the Godhead, the love of God for Man; cant think of a root word usage, in English.
