For example, Love isn't something that is described unless you are describing what it does to a person. Is there a word to describe this?

Nice question. Sounds like there could be a term in particle physics for this... no idea what it might be, though! Also, you might want to add the single word request and/or phrase request tags, as well as a fill-in-the-blank example sentence where the word or phrase might go, to give readers a better idea of what you might want. If there's any research you've done or words you've considered and rejected, best to include that too.
