History
Dunamgender was coined on the LGBTA Wiki's Discord server by Emberid between June 9th and June 12th 2021. It comes from the Ancient Greek words δύναμις (dunamis) meaning 'power', and ενδυναμώνω (endunamoó) meaning 'to empower'. The alternative prefix aucto- comes from the Latin word auctoritas meaning 'authority'.
