The word actually comes from a mispronunciation French l'oeuf, meaning egg, since a 0 looks like an egg and love is a score of zero.
The word love in tennis is a corresponding call in scoring of it and the meaning of love in tennis is 0.
Love means "0" (zero) in tennis. The word "love", itself, one is an Anglicized, misheard, interpretation of the French word "l'oeuf" (pronounced "loff" or "luff"), which means "the egg", as used in the sports term, "goose egg", meaning "nothing".
In tennis, "love" is the same as zero points. L'oeuf is the French word for egg (the shape of which is a bit like a 0). It is said that this is what was called out and over time people thought that the word was love.
It means that there is no score so saying 15-love you would be saying the score is 15 to nothing
Love, in tennis or table tennis zero or nothing means love
It is commonly believed that a score of zero in tennis is called love because of a mispronunciation of the French word L'oeuf. L'oeuf means egg in French and is sometimes used as slang for zero.
The French word for Tennis is the same as in English: (le) tennis.
the French use the same word, tennis.
love means they have no points like say they said "12, love" that means 12 to zero

The French word for Deuce is 'Egalite', but in French Open tennis it appears the first call of Deuce ie. the next score after 30-40 or 40-30 is 'Quarante a' or obviously '40 all'. Apologies for the lack of accents!
