The original meaning of the word incel, means ''involuntary celibate''. There are ongoing efforts to make the meaning of this word obsolete. In order to stifle those efforts, one of the key instruments are announcing when its usage contrasts entirely with its original meaning, via the existence of the term volcel. This will stifle any attempt to make the literal meaning of the term incel obsolete. | The original meaning of the word incel, means ''involuntary celibate''.

==Are most volcels actually incels in denial?== | |||
Many incels (and others) claim that most self-proclaimed male volcels are actually incels in denial, who adopt the volcel label to protect their self-image from the harm that admitting their low [[SMV]] would entail. Reinforcing this point of view, a study published in 2019 in the journal ''Evolutionary Psychology'', suggest that self-described volcels have similarly low "mating performance" than involuntary singles, thus suggesting that they are single because they are unable to initiate relationships, though previous negative relationship experience was also suggested as a possible causative factor in regards to voluntary singlehood.<ref>https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1474704919887706</ref> | |||
