Any Latin root 'am-' is connected with 'amore', which means 'to love'. Words that are formed from that root include amabiles['amicable'], amator ['lover, paramour'], amicitia['friendship'], amicus ['friends'], and amor['love']. But when 'am-' immediately is followed by a consonant, it takes on an altogether different meaning. For example, 'ambo' means 'both', and 'amnis' means 'stream of water'.
