It was used back in 1889 in the context of spanish speaking parts of the American hemisphere. Anyone that studied latin would understand it instantly back then, or today.

It was co-opted by the hippies around '72.

Exactly what I said, minus the part about 1889. It wasn’t used in the American media, in modern times, until the 60s or 70s. If you say ‘72, I will take your word for it. I fail to see what you were arguing about, as anyone with a brain would have realized I was talking about 20th century usage.
