Amid was publicly coined November 21, 2019, and made in mind for individuals who felt it complicated to specify their whole identity, or limited in choosing to simplify their identity as either '[[aroace]]' '[[Aromantic Allosexual|aro allo]]' '[[Alloromantic Asexual|allo ace]],' or to do away with labelling their [[A-Spec|aspec]] identity entirely. Along it the terms [[acemid]] and [[aromid]] were coined, all with similar intentions.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://star-allos.tumblr.com/post/189204961946/yeah-i-think-labels-cause-more-problems-than}}</ref>
Those who are on both the aro and ace spectrum but not strictly both aromantic and strictly asexual all fall under the [[mid]] label, which is the collective term for acemids, amids, and aromids.
The amid flag is pictured to the right. It is an amalgamation of the aroace flag by aroaesflags<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=https://aroaesflags.tumblr.com/post/181034758671/revised-aroace-flag-after-some-conversation-among}}</ref>. In place of the orange and yellow are shades of grey. The term grey is used for those who find themselves in between a lack of and presence of attraction ([[Greyasexual|greysexual]], [[greyromantic]]). They also come in multiple shades to represent community and diversity.
Aymid and acromid were introduced as alternative terms by an anonymous wiki user on April 8, 2021. This is done to prevent confusion between the identity and the word "amid," meaning "surrounded by; in the middle of."
