According to Online Etymology, "A most useful word, now, alas, all but extinct. Want and love are overworked and misused to fill the hole left in the language when this word faded in 17c."
I'd lief to bring this back to use. After all, how much do we really love to go to the movies. Or love that pair of shoes. (Well, actually, the shoes may truly elicit love....) Anyway. Love should be reserved for people, not things and activities. Lief those shoes instead.
