courtly love
noun
- A mediaeval European conception of noble and chivalrous love, generally secret and between members of the nobility. The impression that courtly love is out of date, long superseded by modern manners, is a lure blinding us to how the logic of courtly love still defines the parameters within which the two sexes relate to each other.
