Wesp created the Usenet newsgroup alt.polyamory, and the Oxford English Dictionary cites the proposal to create that group as the first verified appearance of the word.[13] In 1999 Zell-Ravenheart was asked by the editor of the OED to provide a definition of the term, and had provided it for the UK version as "the practice, state or ability of having more than one sexual loving relationship at the same time, with the full knowledge and consent of all partners involved."[14] The words polyamory, polyamorous, and polyamorist were added to the OED in 2006.[15] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4558.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4558.txt
