Word Origin & Etymology

Coined in the early 20th century from the Ancient Greek prefix 'pan-' (meaning 'all') combined with 'sexuality' (from Latin 'sexus'). Originally used in early psychoanalytic theory to describe the view that the sex instinct plays a primary role in all human activity, it later evolved in the late 20th century to denote a distinct sexual orientation.
