A person who practices or advocates for agamy (living without marriage) or an organism that reproduces asexually.
From Greek 'agamos' (unmarried) combined with the suffix '-ist' indicating a person who practices or believes in something. This term bridges both philosophical and biological meanings.
Historically, some religious and philosophical groups practiced agamy by choice, viewing it as a path to spiritual purity—but the term also applies to single-celled organisms that literally don't need partners to reproduce!
