What exactly do these words ending with "-dere" mean?
"Dere" comes from
"deredere" (デレデレ), a Japanese mimetic word for "being lovestruck and overly affectionate".
Dere Types describe how different types of characters show their
deredere side towards their love interest and how they react differently before/after falling in love and becoming lovestruck.
