where does the term falling in love come from
Falling in love The use of the term "falling in love " comes from the love between Hazem and Sana that equates becoming in love with the act of falling. The metaphor appears to emphasize that the process is in some way uncontrollable and risky—as in the phrases "to fall ill" or "to fall into a trap"—and that it leaves the lover in a state of vulnerability.[citation needed]
