    conceptum (plural conceptums)

    1. A person who is attracted to an concept and/or in a relationship with a concept.

    Usage notes

    Conceptum is similar to objectum as a label and is from the same community, but often describes attraction to things that are not physical tangible objects. For example, attraction to a sound, a song, or a website might be considered conceptum, despite those things being perceivable and not just a vague abstract thought. Conceptum can be considered a subset of objectum or its own umbrella of terms.
