== Etymology ==
The word "maverique" is a combination of the word "maverick" meaning "individualist/unorthodox person", and the French suffix "-ique
The etymology<ref>https://www.etymonline.com/word/maverick</ref> of the word "maverick" coincides with the gender identity — the term "maverick" originally meant ''"a calf or yearling found without an owner's brand,"'' and originated from a Texas cattle owner named Samuel A. ''Maverick'' who became infamous for neglecting to brand his cattle. Similarly, people of the "maverique" gender identity have a notable '''unbranded''' identity in relation to the gender binary or surrounding politics - in contrast to androgyny, neutrality, non-applicability, apathy, or revolt.
