History
It was publicly coined November 21, 2019, and made in mind for people who felt it complicated to specify their whole identity, or limited in choosing to simplify their identity as either 'aroace' 'aro allo' 'allo ace,' or to do away with labelling their aspec identity entirely. Along it the terms acemid and aromid were coined, all with similar intentions.[1]
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.
