Morphology

love + wand

The meaning is directly built from 'love' (affection) + 'wand' (a stick that produces magical effects): a wand that produces or spreads love is a natural compositional reading. This simple metaphorical extension follows common noun+noun compounding patterns and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.

Etymology

Love wand comes from the idea of a small wand that spreads love like magic. People picture someone waving this wand to make others smile or feel warm, so it means 'something that attracts or charms others'.
