"Love of country" is an English equivalent of the Latin phrase Amor patriae.

Specifically, the masculine noun amor is in the nominative case as the phrase's subject. It means "love". The feminine noun patriae, in the genitive case of possession, translates as "of country". The pronunciation will be "ah-mohr pah-tree-eye* in classical and liturgical Latin.

*The sound is similar to that in the English noun "eye".
