Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.
C.S. Lewis


I agree with Lewis. But then, by what name are we to call the affectionate feeling that accompanies this steady wish for the person’s ultimate good?

You already said it - affection. Love can cause a bevy of emotions.
