"Maverick" was chosen due to its association with the unorthodox, referencing the fact that maverique as a gender is unorthodox even in regards to many nonbinary genders; due to it being unrelated to the gender binary.<ref name=":1">http://maveriques.tumblr.com/post/136474788751/i-know-im-late-to-the-whole-maverique-discussion</ref> While the word maverick implies a conscious, rebellious unorthodoxy, being maverique itself is not a conscious choice of the maverique person, nor is it a stance against the gender binary. The suffix "-ique" means "similar to" but not identical, indicating that while unorthodox ''like'' maverick, maverique is ''different'' in that it is not a conscious stance but a inherent feature of the person.
