Morphology
polyamorous = amorous (transparent) = poly + amor + ous
The word is built transparently from the prefix poly- 'many' plus amorous, so the sense of multiple romantic relationships is directly recoverable.
Etymology
The word polyamorous joins poly- ('many') and amor ('love'). So it literally means 'many loves', which explains why it describes romantic relationships with more than one partner when everyone agrees.
