1812: Platonic: Not Philosophical Dec 1, 2019

Plenty of adjectives exist based from the names of the people they're associated with, like 'Kantian', 'Nietzschean', or 'Aristotelian'. All of those basically mean "relating to the ideas and philosophy of..." but 'Platonic' most often means 'intimate but not sexual'. This meaning came to English in the 17th century, as a reference to his comments on love in the Symposium of Plato. Sometimes, if people with to reference his ideas, they lump them in with the adjective 'Socratic'.
