Plural: amocrits
A person who genuinely loves, admires, respects, or feels positively toward a source while disliking or disapproving of particular actions, behaviors, characteristics, or outcomes associated with it.
Illustrative example
I’m an amocrit toward my friend: I love her, but I disapprove of that action.
This is a teaching sentence, not evidence of independent public use.
Usage note
Positive regard concerns the source. Dislike or disapproval concerns a particular aspect; it does not imply approval of everything associated with the source.
These words describe a person’s relationship to a source and a particular aspect of it. Sources may include people, companies, creatures, entities, circumstances or phenomena. Independence may overlap another relationship when explicitly stated.
