Google translate lists "be madly in love" and "be infatuated" as alternate
translations for 参｛まい｝る.

When I saw it I was like, huh?

I searched 参｛まい｝る 意味｛いみ｝ on Google too and the first couple sites did list
things relating to love, but I didn't understand it that well.

So, could someone paint this picture for me about why 参｛まい｝る has these
definitions and in what contexts it would fit those definitions?

Thank you!

question
meaning keigo
How does 参｛まい｝る relate to love?
A handful of metaphorical uses of 参る come from a general idea of leaving and
yielding to someone else.

These include

  * to be defeated (often in the form of 参った)
  * to be troubled, perplexed
  * to die
  * to fall in love (the idea being they stole your heart)
