nil

This might be a double definition.

'love' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nil that I've seen before include "Latin zero" , "Love" , "Zero, zilch" , "none" , "Score of nought" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
