The adjective is a calque of German Liebe-Hass (now more commonly Hassliebe (“love-hate relationship”)), from Liebe (“love; relationship of love”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lewbh- (“to love”)) + Hass (“hate; hatred”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *keh2d- (“anger; hatred”)). The verb is derived from the adjective.
