The etymology of the word is that it comes from the latin for 'artificial'.
It originally referred to talismans and other devices filled with spiritual energy. It picked up the meaning of relating to things that arouse loveual desire in the 1800s.

The words new meaning was adopted because the special interest is an object/idea that instills loveual energy on a person.
