Morphology
polytechnic = polytechnic (semi-transparent) = poly + technic
The word is built from 'poly-' and 'technic', but the institutional noun meaning is a conventional conversion from the adjective and is only partly predictable from the components.
Etymology
Polytechnic comes from poly- meaning 'many' and technic meaning 'skill' or 'craft', the same root you see in technical and technique. So a polytechnic is a school that teaches many technical skills and practical subjects like engineering and applied sciences.
