'''[[Incel]]''' is an academic sociological term that is short for '''involuntary celibate''' (a person suffering involuntary celibacy) or '''[[inceldom|involuntary celibacy]]''', a [[adverse effects of inceldom|negative]] life circumstance. An analogy many incels often find elucidating would be comparing the state of lifelong inceldom to commonly recognized life adverse circumstances, such as [[Pauper|poverty]].

Inceldom was recognized in academia as a sociological phenomenon in the landmark [[Donnelly study]] published in 2001. Many further peer-reviewed academic papers have since been written, portraying involuntary celibacy as a harmful life circumstance rather than exclusively describing a specific internet subculture.
