akiosexual

== English == === Alternative forms === akoisexual, akoinesexual === Etymology === From akoisexual, itself a common shortening of akoinesexual, which was coined by Tumblr user cisphobeofficial from a- (“lacking, without”) +‎ Ancient Greek κοινή (koinḗ, “common, shared”) + -sexual on 18 May 2014. By metathesis of oi into io, likely due to rebracketing of interconsonantal -o- + -sexual as one element *-osexual. That is, by association with the [x]-o-sexual pattern seen in homosexual, heterosexual, sapiosexual, robosexual, etc. === Adjective === akiosexual (comparative more akiosexual, superlative most akiosexual) (neologism) Synonym of lithsexual === Noun === akiosexual (plural akiosexuals) (neologism) One who is akiosexual. ==== Usage notes ==== Both akoisexual and akiosexual can be traced back to 2014. However, the oldest attestations of the term use the forms akoi- and akoinesexual.Akiosexual is, regardless, relatively common. From most to least used, the order is thus: akoisexual, akiosexual, akoinesexual. ==== Coordinate terms ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === References === cisphobeofficial's Tumblr Archived link of cisphobeofficial's coinage of akoinesexual and akoineromantic Archived link of cisphobeofficial adressing the shortneing of akoinesexual/-romantic to akoisexual/-romantic The history section of the Lithosexual page on the Orientation Fandom Wiki adresses the metathesis, stating that the akoine element "morphed into the akiosexual and the most commonly-used term, akoisexual"
