polymorphyn.

Brit.

/ˈpɒlɪmɔːfi/, U.S.

/ˈpɑliˌmɔrfi/

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Greek. Partly formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: Greek πολυμορϕία ; poly- comb. form, -morphy comb. form.

Etymology: Partly < Hellenistic Greek πολυμορϕία multiformity ( < ancient Greek πολύμορϕος (see polymorph n.) + -ία -y suffix³), and partly < poly- comb. form + -morphy comb. form. Compare French polymorphie (1848 in biology). Compare earlier polymorphism n. Compare also earlier amorphy n.

The property or condition of being polymorphic; polymorphism.
