Etymology 2
Now widely believed (due to historical written record) to be from the idea that when one does a thing “for love” it is for no monetary gain, the word “love” thus implying "nothing".

The former assumption that it had originated from French, due to its shape, has largely been discredited and is no longer widely accepted. However, the apparent similarity of the shape of an egg to a zero has inspired similar analogies, such as the use of (reputed to be short for duck's egg) for a zero score at cricket, and  for "zero".

Noun

 * 1)  Zero, no score.
 * So that’s fifteen-love to Kournikova.
 * 1) Nothing; no recompense.
