One hates fuss about love (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loather

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one hates fuss about' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'love' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'love' could be 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero') and 'o' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'lather' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for loather that I've seen before include "I don't like" , "I hate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
