Zeparomantic — A term for people who are both aromantic (or aro-spec) and alloromantic, or are a mix of the two. For example, a person might identify as zeparomantic if:
They are on the cusp of aro-spec and alloromantic.
They experience a "grey area" of romantic attraction.
Their romance-favorability does not align with their romantic attraction in the "expected" way, such as cupioromantic, orchidromantic, etc.
Their romantic attraction fluctuates, such as abroromantic, aroflux, etc.
Their romantic orientation can otherwise be described as both alloromantic and aromantic, or on the aromantic spectrum.
Etymology, flag symbolism, and further info is below the cut.
Etymology — Originally, I called this syneparomantic on October 24, 2025. It came from syn ("with; together"), ep ("in addition to; among" or "attached to") and a ("without; not"), literally meaning "with in addition to without" romantic attraction. It was coined as an alternative to Schrödiromantic, for the same reasons that synepasexual was coined.
I then proposed that the term be updated to zeparomantic on March 6, 2026, to simplify the term and make it a bit more accessible. The etymology is roughly the same, but the prefix syn is replaced with the letter z, representing the opposite of a and referencing the term zedromantic. It can be pronounced "zeppuh" or "zeepuh" depending on personal preference; either one is correct.
Flag Symbolism — The flag takes heavy inspiration from the aromantic flag and the zepasexual flag:
Black represents aromantic people. It has a subtle green tint to indicate inclusion in the aromantic spectrum.
Green represents the entire aromantic spectrum; green is the aromantic community color.
Grey represents greyromantic, demiromantic, and other aro-spec identities that aren’t aromantic. It has a subtle green tint to indicate inclusion in the aromantic spectrum.
White represents being alloromantic.
Pink represents romantic attraction, activity, and/or favorability. This was chosen based on some of the cultural associations this color has, such as charm, tenderness, sweetness, and romance.

I'm considering renaming synepasexual, syneparomantic, synepaplatonic, synepansthetic, and all other potential synepa labels to zepa instead. This would simplify the terms and shorten them down considerably, which I hope would result in them being more accessible.
The syn prefix means "with; together" and is intended to represent the allo part of the identity. I'm thinking about switching it to a simple z, being the opposite of a aphabetically, and referencing the zed prefix used in zedsexual, zedromantic, etc. (synonyms for allo)
This would end up looking like this:
Synepasexual -> Zepasexual
Syneparomantic -> Zeparomantic
Synepaplatonic -> Zepaplatonic
Synepansthetic -> Zepansthetic
All other instances of synepa would also become zepa
It would be pronounced "zeppuh" or "zeepuh" (I'm leaning towards the former, personally)
Should I rename them? The original posts would be edited, though the original prefix would still be mentioned in the etymology section for history's sake.
