    I haven’t personally found it, but that number comes from here: https://www.etymonline.com/word/aura

    Curious what you mean by recent use? It’s been in my vocabulary with that meaning for at least my entire adult life (~20 years). Maybe it’s just become a popular word with younger generations in the last few years?

      Yeah, it’s gained popularity with it’s bastardization. The concept of “aura points” for example I’m certain is new lol. Thanks for the source btw.
