No need for Latin perhaps, but the French, Spanish, Italian and some related
English words have their roots in the Latin verb for love, amo.

ANd yes, after fifty years without speaking it, I can still do first
declension conjugation:

amo
amas
amat
amamus
amatis
amant

It's strange how the word Amateur has been misused to the point where
people think of it as beginners or unskilled. IIRC it's derived from
Latin and means, generally one who does something for the love of
doing it, or they enjoy what they are doing.

No need for Latin, some knowledge of French is enough.
"Amateur" == whoever acts by "amour" i.e. "love".
Indeed "I love to be sysadmin" is not exclusive with
"I earn my living as a sysadmin", as can be seen in my own life.
