““The other key concept I shall refer to freely all through this book is that of a polynomial. The etymology of this word is a jumble of Greek and Latin, with the meaning “having many names,” where “names” is understood to mean “named parts. ” It seems to have first been used by the French mathematician François Viète in the late 16th century, showing up in English a hundred years later””
