Brit.

/ˌpɒlɪˈɡeɪmɪə/, U.S.

/ˌpɑliˈɡeɪmiə/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Polygamia.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Polygamia ( Linnaeus Systema Naturæ (1735)) < post-classical Latin polygamia (see polygamy n.). Compare French polygamie (1749 in this sense: see polygamy n.). Compare slightly later Monogamia n.

Botany. Now historical.

In the Linnaean artificial system: the twenty-third class of plants, comprising those that bear both hermaphrodite and unisexual (male or female) flowers, on the same or different plants; (also) any of the orders of the class Syngenesia that comprise plants bearing inflorescences composed of many florets (as in plants of the family Asteraceae ( Compositae)).
