Charisma meaning “personal magnetism”:In their generalized meanings, charisma and charismatic have moved a long way from their original meanings in theology, where they referred to supernatural gifts of speaking, healing, and so on. The modern meanings have developed from a use in sociology, in which the sense is “power of leadership or authority,” first used in translations of the German sociologist Max Weber (1864-1920).
