From Middle English, "En-", a prefix used for negation + English, "Percept", meaning "to perceive". Literally, it means "Not Perceived".
Enpercept was originally coined as "Enperceptine" in it's adjective form. Coined by Gent (Gender-Jargon), 2020 on Gender-Resource (terminated) (link) [PT: Coined by Gender (Gender-Jargon), 2020 on Gender-Resource (terminated) (link) ./. End PT].
"Enpercept" is a noun for the identity itself. "Enpercept" was coined by Gent (Gender-Jargon) in June 2024 in this repost to provide a noun form.
Elaboration
[PT: Elaboration ./. End PT]
As stated in the original, now-archived post, Enpercept is an Uingender, but not an Agingender or Xingender.
This term does not indicate confusion regarding one's gender, but rather an acknowledgment of one's gender experience as being inherently unfathomable. As such, it is also not a Usingender.
To clarify, it's the gender itself that is unintelligible, as opposed to being a label for those who are unable to make sense of their gender. An Enpercept individuals know they can't know their gender and embrace that unknowability in their experience.
Enpercept is a outherine, atrinary gender, but it may also be categorized as diastine.

This post features a redesigned flag of my original Enpercept(ine) pride flag. The flag was redesigned with a more cohesive color pallet and slightly changed design. This flag was created by Gent (Gender-Jargon) in June 2024.
The flag consists of five, horizontal stripes, with the center stripe being twice as thick as all the others. From top to bottom, the stripes are grey-blue, dark teal, black, dark coral and lavender. The colors have the following meanings:
The grey-blue stripe represents the ocean, which is used as a metaphor for the vast, deep unknown.
The dark teal stripe represents a lack of clarity.
The black stripe represents it's unintelligible nature.
The dark coral stripe represents speculation.
The lavender stripe represents a sense of mystery.
