▲The term was created because most other ways to say that one is attracted to [[women]] involve the assumption of one's [[gender]]. For example, a [[Straight|straight individual]] attracted to [[women]] is typically a [[man]]. A [[gay]] or [[lesbian]] individual attracted to [[women]] is typically a [[Woman-|woman]]. Although some [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] folken have also adopted this framing of their orientation, some [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] folken are uncomfortable with this, and found the term feminamoric useful for specifying a [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] individual attracted to [[women]].
The first usage of the term, alongside feminamoric, was in an anonymous tumblr ask to Tumblr user Marlowelune in May 12, 2017.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=https://marlowelune.tumblr.com/post/160601325244/this-is-kinda-late-but-re-words-meaning-nb-into}}</ref> A follow up definition also sent anonymously was posted on the same day.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=https://marlowelune.tumblr.com/post/160603205784/im-actually-gonna-cry-theres-finally-a-term-for}}</ref>▼
▲The [[masculine]] counterpart to feminamoric is [[viramoric]]. The [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] counterpart is [[ceteramoric]]. A similar term is [[Gynesexual|gynosexual]], though some folken are uncomfortable identifying with this term as it can have transphobic implications.

The term is styled after diamoric and comes from the Latin words ''femina'', meaning "woman", and ''amor'', meaning "love".

In a flag redesign by 2KoiLouise4, the colours from the original flag are kept, but rearranged and given meaning: maroon for femininity, pink for exclusive attraction to women, white for non-binary, lime green for NBLW, and olive green for masculinity.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210406210247/https://twitter.com/2KoiLouise4/status/1317866303147905025</ref>
In several proposed new feminamoric flag shades of blue are used to represent non-binary or genderqueer folken's attraction to women, for numerous reasons (the Venus symbol is used to symbolize women, the clouds covering the planet Venus' surface are blue, and the mythological roman goddess Venus emerged from the sea when she was born).▼

In the "yellow banner" non-binary version of the flag by demisexual-yuri, feuillyadeux, bizexuals, and justfolieadoit, the non-binary colors dominate the flag to show that the individual's non-binary-ness is central to the attraction and is what makes the attraction inherently non-straight. The yellow stripes at the side represent women, as Venus is seen as the "female" planet, and is yellow.
The origins of one proposed feminamoric flag unfortunately seems to have been lost. It consists of the same "yellow banner" as before but centered horizontally instead, surrounded by black, purple, and white stripes (outer to inner) and a purple myrtle in the centre. Cast shared this flag on their Tumblr (castorochiaro) on June 6th 2018, citing now deleted Tumblr user casuallyhauntingyourschool.<ref>https://castorochiaro.tumblr.com/post/174641586010/feminamoric-only-attracted-to-women-flag-by</ref>
