Love
受ける　to undertake；to accept; to take; to undergo; to experience; to catch.

愛する　to love.

I think it is interesting that these two characters are so similar. The only thing added to "love" is the character for "heart":
心　
So "love" in Japanese may literally mean "to undertake/accept/take/experience/catch one's heart." I like that.
