aura
Sensed but unseen
An aura is an atmosphere or quality that seems to surround a person or thing: an aura of mystery, an aura of calm.
The word suggests something intangible yet perceptible—a presence you sense rather than see.
In New Age contexts, auras are supposedly visible energy fields around living beings.
In medicine, an aura is a sensory warning that precedes a migraine or seizure.
