The neoliberal feminist [[Alana]] introduced the abbreviated term "invcel" in 1997 which was later changed to "incel" at the suggestion of someone in the mailing list she created as it was easier to pronounce and did not sound as much like "imbecile." Incel was later used in the [[Donnelly Study]] in 2001 and was first [[Ton den Boon|lexicographically recognized]] in 2018.<ref>https://www.vandale.nl/wvdd-incel</ref> | The neoliberal feminist [[Alana]] introduced the abbreviated term "invcel" in 1997 which was later changed to "incel" at the suggestion of someone in the mailing list she created as it was easier to pronounce and did not sound as much like "imbecile."

[[Love-shy|Love-shy]] is the fear of romantic or sexual [[relationship]]s. It is possible for a person to be both incel and [[love-shy]], and most are both to some degree or another. For instance, a person could initially be incel, then suffer large numbers of turn downs, and eventually become [[love-shy]] and unable to approach, sometimes even after the initial reasons for their inceldom disappear. | [[Love-shy|Love-shy]] is the fear of romantic or sexual [[relationship]]s.

The [[incelosphere]] is a loosely connected set of websites and forums wherein people gather to discuss being romantically unsuccessful. Those who visit these sites are affectionately referred to as [[cybercel]]s or incelospherians. The network of online communities wherein people experiencing inceldom gather is called the [[incelosphere]]. Frequenters of the [[incelosphere]] are arguably unrepresentative of inceldom as a whole. This is because one of the key facets of inceldom is social withdrawal. The [[incelosphere]] constitutes the segment of inceldom that is sociable enough to have a proclivity for joining online communities. | The [[incelosphere]] is a loosely connected set of websites and forums wherein people gather to discuss being romantically unsuccessful.

It is very likely the term "Involuntary celibacy" was coined in 1739 by French writer and clergyman [[Antoine Banier]]. He used it in a sense that implied that customs at the time, that led to men and their families demanding a dowry in exchange for marrying a woman, resulted in some women being unable to marry, thus leading to them being [[femcel|incel]] (because female extramarital sex was heavily socially discouraged at the time). The frequency in use of the term seemed to increase in the 19th century (in the modern sense)<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Incelosphere#Background</ref>, with a lull in usage of the term in the 20th century, before seeing a resurgence in interest in the topic in the 1990s. | It is very likely the term "Involuntary celibacy" was coined in 1739 by French writer and clergyman [[Antoine Banier]].
