The term was coined by Ember-like-a-fire on August 15, 2021, because there were two labels for describing people on all a-spectrums, and all but one a-spectrums, but there was no label for people who were on multiple, but not all a-spectrums. |

Polyaspec is used when someone is a-spec for multiple, but not all forms of attraction. For example, someone who identifies as both greysexual and aroflux could identify as polyaspec. Polyaspec also includes tertiary attraction. It is not to be confused with panaspec, which is when someone is a-spec with all forms of attraction. It also shouldn't be confused with monospec, which is when someone is a-spec with all forms of attraction except one.
