ăd-ămo, āvi, ātum, 1, v. a. ad, intens.,
I. to love truly, earnestly, deeply (in the whole class. per. mostly—in Cic. always— used only in the perf. and pluperf.; first in Col. 10, 199, and Quint. 2, 5, 22, in the pres.):

Ep. 3, 7: si virtutem adamaveris, amare enim parum est (amare, as the merely instinctive love of goodness, in contrast with the acquired love of the philosophers, Doederl.), Sen. Ep. 71, 5.—II. Of unlawful love, Ov. A. A. 2, 109; Suet. Vesp. 22: Plin. 8, 42, 64, § 155; id. 36, 5, 4, § 23; Petr. S. 110 al.
