Platonic love

The Spanish phrase 'amor platónico' translates to 'platonic love' in English. This love is a type of deep affection that is non-sexual. It refers to a relationship where one feels a strong sense of love and attraction towards someone, but not necessarily in a romantic or physical way. One might say it's a love of the mind or the soul, rather than the body. This term originates from the philosophy of Plato, hence the name 'platonic'. It's used quite often in both formal and informal conversations in Spanish-speaking countries.
