What does poly gamous mean?

Polygamous refers to a relationship structure in which an individual has multiple spouses or partners simultaneously. This can take various forms, including polygyny (one man with multiple women) and polyandry (one woman with multiple men). Polygamy is practiced in some cultures and religions, though it is legally recognized in only a few countries. The term is often contrasted with monogamy, where an individual has only one partner at a time.
