/pəˈlɪməˌrɪz(ə)m/

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with English elements. Etymons: poly- comb. form, Greek μέρος , -ism suffix.

Etymology: < poly- comb. form + ancient Greek μέρος part, share (see mero- comb. form¹) + -ism suffix (compare -merism comb. form). In sense 1, after French polymérisme (1818). With sense 3 compare earlier polymery n. 2.

†1. Medicine. The condition of having abnormal extra parts. Obsolete.

1849 J. Craig New Universal Dict. Polymerism, the state of monstrosity in which an animal or plant is characterized by the presence of a multiplicity of parts.

1883 Science 26 Oct. 578/1 The cases of double monsters by union of two distinct eggs, and polymerism, being phenomena of a different order, do not come into consideration.

†2. Zoology. The condition of being polymerous or segmented. Obsolete.
