'most commonly' is the definition.

'celebration of love perhaps involving five couples' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
'five couples' could be 'ten' and 'ten' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'fest' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
