I think open relationships are awesome. Granted they work for some people and not other is understandable, but I would definitely consider doing in the future with a partner who was comfortable with the idea. There has been something bothering me ever since I learned that the word polyamory has been attached to this and I thought I would ask about it. Has anyone else noticed that those are two completely different roots? "Poly" is a Greek root which means "many" and "amory" is a Latin root for "love". It really should be Polyeros or Polyphilia or Multusamory. Also, comment if you have an opinion on this or if it bothers you that the roots are not the same. (Cause it is weird and bothers me even though it isn't a big deal, just curious what other people think)

It is composed of different roots to be inclusive and was actually well thought out before it was used the first time. It sounds loving and has a soft sound in it's syllables. It is as close to it's loving counterpart as it can be: monogamy. This wasn't an ignorant coupling of root words it was a thoughtful combining. It doesn't bother me as I have always been fond of and loved Morning Glory Zell. To hear her speak on the evolution of the term was amazing and enlightening.

It doesn't bother me.
There are tons of words like that in the English language. Like television. Automobile. Dysfunction. Hexadecimal. Neuroscience. Sociology. Many many words are hybrid words (the technical term).
I've never understood why "polyamory" bothers people, but they don't insist on calling "TV" or "erectile dysfunction" something different.
