When was the word love invented?

The word love was not 'invented'. Like the vast majority of words in the English language, it evolved over a long period of time. It is impossible to say when it first appeared in that exact form, and it would anyway be a pointless exercise. Language does not work like that.

The derivation of the word is from the Germanic Liebe via Old English lufu. It is cognate with the Latin libet, lubet (it pleases).
