Fond

Let’s get to the bottom of this word. Get it? But it appears this word is strictly English. Fond in old English meant foolish, then it morphed into meaning affection. I guess when you are fond of someone you do act foolish.

Overly fond people tend to be doting.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
