Morphology
polyantha = poly + anth
The meaning 'many-flowered' is only partly transparent because the floral element is classical rather than a familiar English word.
Etymology
Polyantha comes from Greek parts poly- 'many' and -antha 'flower', like polygon uses poly- for 'many'. So it literally means 'many-flowered' and describes plants that have lots of small blooms.
