Etymology
Polyphenol comes from the parts poly- and phenol; poly- means 'many', as in polygon, and phenol is the name for a kind of plant chemical found in tea, fruit, and chocolate. So polyphenol means 'many plant chemicals', which is why it is used for natural compounds in plants that often help protect cells from damage.
