Etymology[]
The term "nonmasculiromantic" combines "nonmasculine," indicating the absence of male-associated attributes, with "romantic," signifying the realm of emotional and romantic attraction. It highlights the distinction between gender identity and biological sex in the context of romantic orientation.
