 In [[1999]], Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart was asked by the editor of the ''[[Oxford English Dictionary]]'' to provide a definition of the term (which the dictionary had not previously recognized).

 The terms ''primary'' (or ''primary relationship(s)'') and ''secondary'' (or ''secondary relationship(s)'') are often used to indicate a hierarchy of different relationships or the place of each relationship in the speaker's life. Thus a woman with a husband and another partner might refer to the husband as her "primary". (Of course, this is in addition to any other [[term of endearment]]). Some polyamorous people use this as an explicit hierarchy of relationships, others consider it insulting to the people involved, believing that a person's partners should be considered equally important. Another model, sometimes referred to as ''intimate network'', includes relationships of varying significance to the people involved, but which are not explicitly labeled as primary or secondary. Within this model, any hierarchy may be fluid and vague, or nonexistent.

 The expression ''[[open relationship]]'' denotes a relationship (usually between two people) in which participants are free to take other partners; where the couple making this agreement are married, it is an [[open marriage]]. "Open relationship" and "polyamorous" are not identical in meaning. Broadly, "open" usually refers to the sexual aspect of a non-closed relationship, whereas polyamory involves the extension of a relationship by allowing bonds to form as additional long term relationships (sexual or otherwise).

 Unlike many other forms of [[open relationship]], relationships classed as polyamorous involve an emotional bond and often a longer term intent, though these distinctions are a topic open to debate and interpretation.
