'aura' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'aura', where it meant 'breeze'.

'aura' changed from the Ancient Greek word 'αὔρα' (aúra) into Latin 'aura' and eventually became the modern English word 'aura'.

Initially, it meant 'breeze', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a distinctive atmosphere or quality surrounding a person, object, or place'.
