The hybrid words pansexual and pansexualism were first attested in 1914 (spelled pan-sexualism), coined by opponents of Sigmund Freud to denote the idea "that the sex instinct plays the primary part in all human activity, mental and physical". The thinker Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller used the term Pansexualism to explain the aesthetic and sensual civilization that reconciled sensuality with reason. The prefix pan- comes from the Ancient Greek πᾶν ( pan), meaning "all, every". Omnisexuality may be used to describe those "attracted to people of all genders across the gender spectrum", and pansexuality may be used to describe the same people, or those attracted to people "regardless of gender". Pansexuality is also sometimes called omnisexuality.

Pangender is not the same as polygender because polygender can be finite in number, however, pangender falls under the polygender umbrella since polygender means the feeling of two or more genders.

Therefore, pangender means “having all genders it’s possible to have” and other similar definitions. The Greek prefix “pan” refers to “everything” or “all”.
