Hawaiian greeting meaning "love” or "affection” (5)

I believe the answer is:

aloha

(Other definitions for aloha that I've seen before include "Welcome to Honolulu!" , "16 across in Hawaii" , "Hello or goodbye in Hawaii" , "Hawaiian farewell" , "A halo seen in Polynesian greeting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
