'''Ali''' or Alio is an [[A-Spec|a-spec]] term
=== History ===
'''Ali''' was [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 coined] September 20th 2020 by reddit user CreateorMateor205. Citing the difficulty in talking about people who were not aroace. Alloromantic allosexual was called too unwieldy and did not include aspecs who were not aroace such as [[alloaros]] and [[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 it’s simplicity. The -sexual suffix was dropped to show that romantic attraction was included as well
