Etymology: Apparently partly (i) < Middle French amourete, amourette (French amourette ) superficial love affair (12th cent. in Old French as amorette ; compare amourette n.), sweetheart, lover (13th cent.) < amour love (see amour n.) + -ette -et suffix1 (compare -ette suffix), and partly (ii, in sense 5) < French amouret representation of Cupid (16th cent.; French †amouret ) < amour + -et -et suffix1 (compare French †amourette , cited in a 17th-cent. source as a nonstandard variant). Compare amoretto n. With sense 5 compare also amorino n. Compare also amourette n., which is semantically close, and shows the same pronunciation and some overlap in spelling.
Now rare.
