The lexeme "zygomaticous" is semantically encapsulated within the realm of facial anatomy, specifically signifying the zygomatic muscles, intrinsically tasked with the dynamic modulation and regulation of the bilateral osseous prominences known as the cheekbones. Etymologically rooted in the adjective "zygomatic," pertinently linked to the zygoma—an osseous arch delineating the cheekbone—the term "zygomaticous" intricately delves into the domain of facial physiology, elucidating the multifaceted role of the aforementioned muscles in orchestrating and finely tuning facial expressions, with a particular emphasis on those emotive gestures associated with the act of smiling.

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
