originally, harem are the collective of WIVES of a single man (usually an aristocrat/monarch or just a rich guy)
when and where did a collection of girls not actually married or engaged to the same guy but are attracted to or interested in him came from?
just wondering...
by right, why not call it love triangle, and subsequent increase like before? (love square, pentagon, hexagon etc)
P/S: don't take this too seriously though...
