That’s a silly etymology. The word apathetic comes from a (no) path (emotion) y (state). Apathy: the state of no emotions.
Apagender is the a plus half the path. You can’t just use half the root word, it’ll make the nerds upset. Like Me! You’ve gotta at least have a (no), path (emotion), and gen (type) in the final word. Like agenpath: someone who doesn’t care about labels.
A good word etymology is important because it tells people what the word means as soon as they hear it. Anyone literate in English or Latin can intuit what agenpath means.

That’s just a term that people have used for what you’re describing; I didn’t create it. Personally, I find “agenpath” rather inscrutable.
