What exactly do these words ending with "-dere" mean?
Dere comes from "deredere" (デレデレ), an onomatopoeia meaning "lovestruck" or "lovey dovey". Dere type characters are characters that express their affection in different ways, or on different levels.
Most of the dere types are how characters react to becoming lovestruck.
