Alloromantic



Alloromantic (also known as Zedromantic and frequently shortened to Alloro) refers to people who are not on the aromantic spectrum. In other words, it describes someone who regularly experiences romantic attraction to others. But it does not necessarily refer to a romantic identity by itself. It is an umbrella term created by the A-spec community as a way to describe anyone who's not Aromantic, in the same way Transgender individuals use the term Cisgender to refer to someone who is not transgender.

The romantic equivilent to Alloromantic is Allosexual.

History
Before Alloromantic came into use the term "romantic" was used as the opposite of aromantic. The word is based on the term Allosexual, people who are not in the Ace-spectrum.
