asexuality

/ˌeɪ.sɛk.ʃuˈæ.lə.ti/ noun

The state or quality of being asexual:

Word Origin A- from Greek 'without' + sexus from Latin 'sex' — asexuality is the state of being without sexual attraction. The prefix a- (alpha privative) appears in atheist (without god) and amoral (without morals). Sexus itself is from PIE *sek- 'to cut, divide,' referring to the division of genders. So asexuality is literally 'without division.'
