Morphology

belove = love (semi-transparent) = be + love

Formed by the prefix 'be-' + 'love' so the lexical relation is clear, but the word is archaic/poetic and its usage and exact meaning may be unfamiliar to average learners.

Etymology

Belove comes from the old prefix be- plus the word love, so it originally meant 'dearly loved' and is the same idea as the common word beloved. That's why belove describes someone who is held very dear.
