"Polygamy" has two roots; the first part of the word (<em>poly</em>) comes from the greek word "<em>polús</em>", that means "many"; the second part of the word (gamy) comes from the greek term "<em>gámos</em>", which means "marriage"; both terms were used in an ancient greek word: "<em>polugamos</em>" that literally meant "married to many". The word "polygamy" in english also refers to someone who is married to more than one person.
