Definition bisexual

Etymology

From bi- +‎ -sexual. Attested about 1808 as a synonym in botany for "hermaphroditic" ("having male and female parts"). First used of sexuality in Richard von Krafft-Ebing's 1886 Psychopathia Sexualis (in German) and Charles Gilbert Chaddock's 1892 English translation thereof, due to the theory people were naturally attracted to the opposite sex and the brain or mind of a person attracted to "both" sexes (or the same sex) must be partly of the opposite sex and thus "hermaphroditic".

1. (of humans or other animals) Sexually attracted to both men and women (by a narrow definition) or to people of multiple or any genders (by a broad definition; compare pansexual).
