The word comes from the French, which comes from the Latin word "amare" , to love. "Amateurs" are people who do things for the love of it. It is their hobby; they are not being paid to do it.

The quality of work done by amateurs varies greatly. Sometimes when people talk about something being an "amateur job" they are suggesting that it is of inferior quality. Sometimes this is true, but sometimes amateurs can produce a better product than those paid to do it, because they do not cut corners and compromise quality for cheapness.
