Etymology
Αγαπητός comes from the verb αγαπώ, to love, joined with the suffix -τός, which forms verbal adjectives meaning capable of or worthy of the verb's action. The result means, loosely, worthy of love, or loved. The root of αγάπη itself has no securely established origin outside Greek, so it is best treated as a native formation rather than tied to a wider family.
