The expression “no love lost” originated within the 1500’s and till the 1800s it will mean both excessive love or hate.
The word first seemed in written shape in a pamphlet written by way of dramatist Cyril Tourneur, titled ‘Chortle and lie downe,’ written in 1605 expressing excessive love.
As for its detrimental meaning, there could also be an early instance in ‘Go back and forth of a Twelve-pence,’ written by way of John Taylor in 1622, the place it reads as follows.
“They love me now not, which makes ’em temporarily spend me. However there’s no nice love lost ‘twixt them and mee. We keepe asunder and so best agree.”
Alternatively, these days the time period is used for hatred and sick will solely.
