Etymology: "Trueloves" is the plural of "truelove," a noun built from the adjective "true" and the noun "love," both ordinary English words with Old English roots. The compound's sense is literal: a truelove is someone who is truly loved, or who truly loves, in return. Its plural simply counts the people, or pairs, to whom the phrase applies. The word's most familiar use is as a term of affection for a sweetheart, and this older sense of a faithful beloved is what the meaning you have given describes. The phrase reads as one unit, which is why it is spelled as a single word.

Synonyms: sweethearts, beloveds, paramours
