Morphology
polyamory = polyamorous (opaque) = poly + amor + y
The relation to 'polyamorous' is recognizable, but the noun formation is part of a specialized modern term rather than a fully predictable everyday pattern for average learners.
Etymology
Polyamory comes from Greek poly- meaning 'many', as in polygon or polygamy, and Latin amor meaning 'love', like Spanish 'amor', so it literally means 'many loves'. That's why polyamory describes having loving relationships with more than one person, usually with everyone's agreement.
