any of a class of polymers with an imido group: resistant to high temperatures, wear, radiation, and many chemicals
Word origin
[1940–45; poly- + -imide]This word is first recorded in the period 1940–45. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: black box, sealant, silkscreen, whiteout, zappoly- is a combining form with the meanings “much, many” and, in chemistry, “polymeric,”used in the formation of compound words. Other words that use the affix poly- include: polyandrous, polyculture, polyethylene
