erotic: [17] érōs was the Greek word for ‘sexual love’ (as opposed to agápē ‘brotherly love’ and philía ‘friendship’). The concept was personified in Greek mythology as érōs, the boy-god of love. Its adjectival derivative erōtikós arrived in English via French érotique.

1650s, from French érotique (16c.), from Greek erotikos "caused by passionate love, referring to love," from eros (genitive erotos) "sexual love" (see Eros). Earlier form was erotical (1620s).
