The pacman defintion is a local definition which only applies to an
individual PC. If I have an orphan package on my PC, it is not
neccessarily an orphan on your PC. 

The AUR definition of orphan is a global definition. Meaning, an orphan
AUR package is orphan for everybody. I would distinguish this use case
by calling it "abandoned" instead or oprhan.
