I understand that poly means “many” or something along those lines. But whenever I hear something with poly in the name it feels like it gives literally no additional info other than it has two or more of something. Is it more than a specified number? I’m confused.

“Poly” in a chemical name usually mean you’re making a chain of some kind.
For example: ethylene is a C2H4. Polyethylene is chains of that, often separated by carbon or nitrogen in a way that allows the chains to branch.
