polycule
Interconnected romantic group
A polycule is a network of people connected through polyamorous relationships—the word blends "polyamory" with "molecule," suggesting interconnected bonds.
A polycule might include a person, their two partners, and one partner's other partner, all linked in a web of romantic or sexual relationships: Our polycule is having dinner together Saturday.
