Ali was coined September 20th 2020 by reddit user CreateorMateor205,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/aromanticasexual/comments/iwvsvy/we_should_create_a_word_to_make_it_easier_to_talk/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf</ref> citing the difficulty in talking about people who were specifically not aroace. Alloromantic allosexual was called too unwieldy and did not include aspecs who were not aroace such as [[Aromantic Allosexual|alloaros]] and [[Alloromantic Asexual|alloaces]]. Alloallo was said to sound too childish and allo alone was too ambiguous. |

CreateorMateor205 suggested taking inspiration from terms the asexual community considered before settling on the term allosexual. Alisexual and allosexual both have prefixes meaning “other or different” . Alisexual was considered for its similarity to allosexual and its simplicity. The -sexual suffix was dropped to show that romantic attraction was included as well. |
