This is the word of the day. I like it, wonder why i've never heard it before.

inamorato |inˌaməˈräˌtō| noun ( pl. -tos) a person's male lover. ORIGIN late 16th cent.: Italian, literally ‘enamored,’ past participle of the verb inamorare, based on Latin amor ‘love.’

or

inamorata |inˌaməˈrätə| noun a person's female lover. ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: Italian, literally ‘enamored,’ feminine of inamorato (see inamorato ).

Either way I like the sound of that.
