I think they're all French. The high proportion of alcohol-related words there probably says something about me
Do you mean "Par amour" ('by love' litterally)?
Contratemps is Contre-temps
Je ne sais pas quoi : how do you use it?

The thing that's wrong with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur.

Paramour means "A lover, especially one in an adulterous relationship".

"Je ne sais quoi" is a phrase we use meaning "an indefinable, elusive quality, especially a pleasing one: She has a certain je ne sais quoi that charms everybody."
