What is the meaning of polygamist?

Answer 1

Polygamy exists in three specific forms, including polygyny (one man having multiple wives), polyandry (one woman having multiple husbands), or group marriage (some combination of polygyny and polyandry). Historically, all three practices have been found, but polygyny is by far the most common in the world.[citation needed] Confusion arises when the broad term "polygamy" is used when a narrower definition is really meant.
