/pɒˈlɪm(ə)rəs/, U.S.

/pəˈlɪm(ə)rəs/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: poly- comb. form, -merous comb. form.

Etymology: < poly- comb. form + -merous comb. form. Compare ancient Greek πολυμερής consisting of many parts, manifold. Compare also scientific Latin Polymera, genus name of dipteran flies ( C. R. G. Wiedemann Diptera exotica (1821) 40; compare French polymère (1842)) and scientific Latin Polymerus, genus name of heteropteran bugs (C. W. Hahn 1831, in Die wanzenartigen Insecten I. 27).

Zoology and Botany.

Consisting of many parts or segments.
