Comment:
Loanword of Romance origin: a + palamour < par l'amour. The word is very frequent in traditional spoken Breton, but language activists dislike it because of its foreign origin. Thus in Neo-Breton, school Breton etc. one uses peogwir instead.

Comment:
Borrowed already in Middle Breton, thus inherited in Modern Breton.
